Course description
The course sets out to share with teachers the 'Reflexionart–tutories d’art' project (Reflexionart-art tutorships), which arose in the Artistic Languages group of the Barcelona Council for Educational Coordination and from the work in research by the Mestre Morera school in collaboration with the MNAC and the Consortium of Education. The sessions will take an interdisciplinary, theoretical and practical approach. The main points we will explore are how we can reflect on transverse issues in education (gender equality, living together...) on the basis of heritage and artistic practice and how the scientific research method relates to research through art.

Objectives:

- To introduce the 'Reflexionart–tutories d’art' project, through which the Mestre Morera school and the MNAC have made heritage the basis for reflection on issues such as gender and friendship

- To present the 'Reflexionart' model of artistic research and carry out the exercise of imagining the sequence for an interdisciplinary project on a transverse issue in which art is a means of exploration, reflection and creating new meanings

- The methodology of the course integrates theoretical and practical work through the observation of works of art in the museum's exhibition rooms, artistic creation and corporal work
