Images that tell stories. Comic, drawing and narrative.

Images contain stories. The comic format has its own language. Panels, sequences, transitions, shots, onomatopoeia… In this session we will learn to use this language by creating our own comic.

*Some comics suggested for this session: "The Magic Poop", "Anna and Froga", "The Moomins", "Mammoth Collection. My First Comic."

The H Error. Trial and Error in Creative Processes

Failing is part of the creative process. We wish that everything goes well on the first try and if it doesn't, it's easy for us to become discouraged and abandon the search. However, from an open and creative perspective, error can open new paths for us, new possibilities and unexpected opportunities. In this session we will rescue those beautiful disasters called errors and give them value. *Some stories proposed for this session: "In the Kingdom of Punctuation", "The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes".

The A is a triangle and the O is a circle. Geometry and synthesis.

We are going to look for geometric shapes in our surroundings. We will take a walk through the space, observing the objects, works of art, books and drawing in our notebook the geometric figures we find. With the collection of geometric figures we gather in our notebooks, we will create our own composition.

Synthesize recognizable forms to reach visual compositions. Balance, tension, symmetry and the weights of the forms on the plane. *Some stories proposed for this session: "The Point", "The Little Red Balloon", "For Four Little Corners of Nothing".

The music of colors. Playing with the senses of sight and hearing.

A color is not something tangible, but a sensation that depends on how each person perceives it. The same happens with music, you cannot touch it and yet it produces emotions in us. In this session we will relate colors, music and emotion.

*Some stories proposed for this session: "The Queen of Colors", "Oh!", "The Monster of Colors".

The switch. Lights and shadows.

Lights and shadows are the magical elements that make the objects around us appear and disappear. We will work with light tables, cutouts, translucent materials, reflections and darkness. *Some stories proposed for this session: "Shadows", "Excentric cinema", "Seven Blind Mice", "The Hole", "The Black Book of Colors", "What Does the

Moon Taste Like?".

From head to toe. Body and anatomy.

The body has been and is a major protagonist in the history of art. In museums we frequently encounter works in which naked bodies appear. From the Avant-garde onwards, the body shifts from being represented to being the direct tool for action and expression. Eliminating taboos, speaking naturally about nudity, or using our body in action as a means of artistic expression are some of the objectives of this session.

*Some stories proposed for this session: Collection "The map of my body" ("Breasts", "Nostrils", "Scabs", "Teeth", "Belly button", "Soles of the feet").

What do books dream about?. Surrealism and the dream world.

In this session, we will explore the world of the Subconscious. What seems absurd to us at first glance can have a profound meaning if we look at it again.

Through play and chance, we will make free associations of ideas to create our own symbolic imagination.

*Some stories proposed for this session: "Where is Babia", "There were many things", "Never again".

This is not a pipe". Reality Vs Representation.

Let's play and imagine. This is not a box, it's a spaceship or a hiding place, a magical door, a little house or a robot. Let's paint a horse, it can be blue, green, purple or many colors, because we are freely painting our unique vision of a horse.

A drawing will always be a representation of reality. We can represent pipes, horses, people and also go a little further: represent movement on a piece of paper, draw an emotion, paint sadness, etc.

*Some stories proposed for this session: "Where is my shoe", "Instructions for waking up a chair", "The artist who painted a blue horse".

Who am I?. The identity of the artist.

The self-portrait understood as a journey towards the search for our own identity. Understanding and respecting our particularities and those of others. Fostering the ability to make decisions. Valuing our opinions and those of others.

Experiencing the pleasure of discovering ourselves and presenting ourselves to others through artistic expression.

*Some stories proposed for this session: "Imagine", "What are you thinking about",

"Wild," "Be yourself and nothing more", "I go with myself," "Elmer, the colorful elephant".

The artist's drawer. Where does the artist's inspiration come from?.

In this session we will put ourselves in the role of the artist to experience how the creative processes in art work. A room full of objects, memories and dreams that will help us understand how the artist's imagination is constructed.

*Some stories proposed for this session: "The Lost Thing", "The Artist's Drawer" "The Matchbox Diary", "I am an Artist", "The Cloud Factory". Coordinated by Va de cuentos and María Maraña.
