ART AND YOGA FOR CHILDREN
ART AND YOGA
A WAY OF INTERNAL KNOWLEDGE
It is important to retake the art as a way of internal knowledge. Through art, people can relax and explore their inner world. This yoga-art school and workshop promotes art as a vehicle of the body, as a creator of beauty, designed for children, working different areas of their being, as the psychomotor, the fine and gross motor, speech, and creativity.
Yoga as a base of our classes
The children will be able to learn yoga postures (asanas) daily. Besides to know and dominate their breathing. In this way, body and spirit come together to develop an integral art and awareness as to create the mood of human nature.
Art Philosophy for children
The cooperation and good will of all members of the group is essential. It is important to learn to engage in a dialog, ask questions about everyday concerns, learn to interact as a team and shared in common among us. In addition to analyze why and how of being an artist can create a style according to the concerns of each individual. The language of art from a philosophical point of view in a simple language for children to discover the background of the artwork
Different Techniques
The intention of the Art School is that children learn different techniques from art and develop the love for it, such as: drawing, painting, sculpture, jewellery, music, dance, theatre and circensial art .
Research laboratory
The children will have the opportunity to learn different artistic techniques, being able to investigate the art: observing and analyzing the materials and the objects, this way they can work in their own reaserch recognizing the materials with which they work, and discovering its origin while they create their own artwork. Beyond this form, the art becomes a philosophy tool, in where the elements , the forms, the space, the subject, the inspiration, the integration of body, soul, mind, and spirit are questioned.
