Teaching a child to feel sensitivity for art without having access to art, to put it mildly, is a tad complicated.
Hence schools strive to cede part of their academic schedule so that your students can make excursions to museums more representative of their communities.
However, paying bus tour and lunch is not always feasible for schools, and less in times of crisis.
That was the case of Secondary School Sierra Minera, La Union, Murcia.
So they decided to turn the tables: "If we can not go to the museum, which is now the Museum who comes to us," says art teacher, Ana Perez-Nieto.
The IES Sierra Mining is the only community college Murcia which has targeted the project "Here we paint all" Educathyssen.
This week, the Thyssen Museum's educational workshops Bornesmisza have traveled directly to classrooms SIERRA MINING IES in a briefcase full of reproductions of the museum's most famous works, XL and Nintendo 3DS games New Art Academy.
Students of IES Sierra Minera are not the only ones to benefit from the project workshops EducaThyssen "Paint All Here."
His parents, too.
"When I arrived consoles did not quite know what to do with them," explains Professor Perez-Nieto.
"I quickly realized that my students were handled a thousand times better than I did with the console, so I asked, 'Why are not themselves teaching in the classroom?'".
Said and done.
The Sierra Minera IES has organized workshops in which the students will teach classes that his parents Art: "The procedure is very simple. First, I explain one of the works of the Thyssen. Then they will have to paint your interpretation of the work with the console and New Art Academy. And then they themselves will tell their parents the keys to work so they can interpret. be interesting to see who plays the father and the son who plays ... "jokes Ana Perez-Nieto.
Ana Perez-Nieto and Jesus Ruiz Fuentes teachers have been responsible for the project a reality in high school.
"When I found out that it was summoning Thyssen schools throughout Spain to launch the project, I did not hesitate a second: for us it was an opportunity to access all information and materials has not provided the Thyssen. imagine what it means for the students of La Union, a center that 30% of students are considered compensatory, 23 students are considered special educational needs and 71 are immigrants. "
Why the Thyssen has decided to move their workshops to schools throughout Spain and video game consoles?
"The potential of New Art Academy to bring learning of children and youth art makes this game an ideal tool for the dissemination of works of the Thyssen-Bornemisza," says Rufino Ferreras, Education Development Coordinator of the Thyssen- Bornemisza and responsible for the website and the project EducaThyssen.org "Here we paint all".
Only 30 schools around the country have been selected to implement the project here paint all.
Perez-Nieto explains, Thyssen "has given us some general guidelines with ideas of how we could implement the project, but its intention is that each center adapt all the material in our own way, to better suit the specific needs of each school. "
"The advantage of New Art Academy, explains Professor-is also fairly accurately recreate the textures of the different types of paints [watercolor, oil, pastel] and not to tarnish, the game manages to capture the attention of students, and they associate with your Nintendo 3DS entertainment. "
New Art Academy is a virtual teacher that step by step, the pace of the student, will teach concepts of drawing and painting.
This program is based on actual techniques and ideally suited to the student's level of knowledge.
The teachers have the support of 32 lessons including introductory and advanced in the game, which will offer simple step by step guides on different painting techniques, styles and materials.
In addition, free paint mode will let you experience all the materials available in the game.
