I can´t remember the first time I come into contact with the art, but I do remember the first time a teacher told me to paint inside the lines. I have never thought about it, but now I ask myself: why inside the lines? , why always so much structured exercises? , is that art? , or is it the impression sometimes we get about art? I reach to the following reflection, that could be appropriate for some people, but not for others, anyway I will explain it.
It is
commonly known the “Allegory of the cave” of Plato. It is explained that there are
some prisoners in a cave and they just can see the shadows of the objects of
the world around them. After a time, one of the prisoners escapes and leaves
the cave. He can´t believe the world he discovers outside the cave, realizing
that his view of reality was wrong.
I can say
that, as the prisoner, I could have been taught the art in a way in which is
not. As I think that the art may be much more than those structured
exercises, I would like to discover that “real art” and learn how to deal with it
with the children.

ResponderEliminarI like your reflections. Please make sure to make even more links between the content we've talked about in art class and your home place.
