Artistic education is an important part in building a creative mind in the 21st century

I started studying math in the US. I think that my studies in this discipline contributed a lot to me when I started my career in Fine Arts years later. By this I want to highlight the importance of a transversal or interdisciplinary educational experience. It offers us the opportunity to acquire creative and analytical skills to solve situations and problems outside our comfort zone. We often only see what we want to see, but by exploring other ways of doing things, we can open our horizons to commit ourselves to the world in an original and fresh way.

This way, the drawing of the natural can help us see what we really have before us and not what we think we see. Geothe said "What I have not drawn I have not seen", that is, you have to question everything and learn by observing and analyzing. In this course we will create an active learning environment where academic and creative growth is encouraged through group practice. We will develop technical and perceptual skills using the fundamental elements of drawing to create images and capture ideas and perhaps, during this process, we will discover new passions and other interests.
