LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
This course investigates into what makes us individual and provides a language to freely express that individuality.
The course is structured into three parts:
1 - We are all the same
There is a process of communication shared by all humans. We will look at this process and learn how we receive and process information and how that determines our beliefs and values. We learn and apply communication tools which allow us to talk to others as individuals and not as elements of a group. We want to show that there is a common ground that we all function from. And that there is a universal structure to how we think, feel and express ourselves.
2. We are all different:
We are citizensof the world and not a specific country. More and more so today and in the future.
We want to look at the individuality of each human and realize that it is not so much our cultural background that defines the difference of one another but the individual choices.
Our values and beliefs are shaped by our surroundings as we grow up, but we can, as soon as weare aware of them as constructions of the mind, choose which ones to keep and which ones to let go.
What makes usdifferent from one another? How can we remove labels that have been put on us and that we have put on others?
Where do we all meet, when judgements are put aside? If we look at our differences as qualities we can jointly use them and nurture our surroundings.
If we deconstruct “labels” we dissolve differences and rather than looking at groups we start looking at the individual elements those are composed of.
3. Freedom of Art
In a practical workshop setting we will explore how art can serve as a language where we canfreely express our individuality without restraints. Art provides a space offreedom where personal opinions andemotions are transformed into colour, shape and size, and expressed and shared.
