Painting Art Integrated Learning Module
Module Description
The Painting Art Integrated Learning module (PAIL) is a teaching-learning model which is based on learning ‘through the painting arts’ and ‘with the painting’: it is a process where art becomes the medium of teaching-learning, a key to understanding concepts within any subject of the curriculum. This resonates with the experiential learning approach. PAIL is going to introduce the learners to the basic oil and acrylic painting techniques but also will teach them how to create connection among their identity with their cultural and ethnic background.
The necessary time for the practical training is 40 separated among 22 lessons and 3 exercises.
Objectives
This module aims to:
- Develop understanding of ‘Painting Art’ as a pedagogical tool and of its impact on the holistic learning and development of every learner.
- Develop familiarity with painting art experiences (different techniques) as medium of exploring learners creative expression.
- Develop skills of planning and organizing age-appropriate art experiences to make learning of different subjects appealing.
- Develop understanding Romani community: their portrait through positive narrative.
- Communicate and interact with Romani Adults.
- Introduce the important influence of the Romani traditions and culture on the European culture
Target learners
The target learners of PAIL are people willing to learn oil and acrylic painting techniques, future or current artists with Romani background and influence. The trainers to work on the module are professionals that are involved in the art sector or related to it and professionals that support Romani integration to EU (e.g., social workers, VET teachers, assistance, volunteers, …).
Training materials
The main training materials are separated in a Paper Act and an Art Lesson for Romani people. The Paper Act is developed around Roma background and information that will help with the pedagogical aspect of the Art lesson, which is a studio project that explores filmmaking art with hands-on, creative activities and active discussions.
