PRIMARIA

PRIMARIA

In the classroom of the CA2M Museum, there are numerous ceramic pieces that were moulded by the groups that visited us in 2022. With great care, Mr Mateo baked each of them in his school kiln. There, they released all their water, which evaporated and dispersed into the air of Móstoles. The textbooks say that when hydrogen bonds are replaced by stronger, shorter oxygen bonds, the clay shrinks and cannot be reused. That it will never be mud again.

We invite pre-school and primary school classes to take part in collective action to imagine an answer to this question. What can we make with that mud? Leave school and come to the museum in order to touch, change, break, make noise and soften.

Adriana Reyes (anthropologist and creator in the field of living arts) and Mateo Añover (teacher and director of CEIP Antonio Hernández, ceramicist and basketball enthusiast) know a lot about this. We have invited them to design this workshop in which children will turn small things into a new creation where the body, collective action and other contemporary artistic forms will be put into practice to turn something small into something extraordinary.

Leave the school and enter the museum to touch, change, break, make noise and soften.

In recent years, the CA2M Museum has been working together with the educational community at Federico García Lorca CEIP on a number of projects, allowing us to build new relationships between the school and the museum. This school year, we are interested in delving with the students into the imaginaries of the unknown in order to subvert the usual way of classifying the world.

We will work in the natural areas surrounding the school buildings where the unclassifiable lives to create a classroom that allows us to make our way into the wild vegetation, to get to know the little creatures that inhabit it and to imagine other worlds.

Dragon-like creatures; a huge, vaguely fish-like creature with legs and fangs; several deer and horses with elaborate trunk-like noses.

It is fascinating how in certain periods, not knowing the real appearance of certain animals, artists resorted to oral and written accounts to reconstruct or imagine the shapes of those creatures, the results of which were strange beasts that broke free from the boundaries of knowledge. 

One of our goals is to reflect on the ability of projects developed from artistic practices to have long-term impacts. In this sense, we are interested in investigating how art can affect the educational institution and, conversely, how educational institutions, public schools in particular, can transmit this experience to the education department.

Project developed through conversations with the artist Belén Rodríguez.
