Abstract:

Nowadays, audiovisual content constantly surrounds and absorbs us. From a young age, we are not only consumers of audiovisual content but also often creators. We participate, either passively or actively, in the creation and sharing of audiovisual content, primarily on social networks. However, not everyone engages with created or perceived audiovisual content through the lens of film aesthetics. At the same time, we must preserve creative and critical thinking, which is important not only from the perspective of art, but also for society as a whole.

10.4 Audiovisual Project in Art Education (Workshop) – virtual

Abstract:

In recent years, we have observed a growing interest in several key phenomena within the field of art and visual education. Among these is the use of participatory learning methods – particularly project-based learning – which not only develops subject-specific competencies in students but also enhances their interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration skills.

Another prominent area is the creation of audiovisual content. Surrounded by various forms of audiovisual media on a daily basis, virtually everyone who owns a smartphone is not only a passive consumer but also an active creator.

In the Czech Republic, as well as internationally, there has been a long-standing interest in both of these areas – among educators, artistic professionals, and within the broader educational system. However, finding a meaningful synergy between them remains a challenge. As a result, the integration of project-based learning and audiovisual education continues to provoke intense debate.

The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate, through an example of good practice, that combining traditional visual art methods with audiovisual media via project-based learning is not only an engaging and enjoyable educational approach, but also an essential component of contemporary teaching and learning for both children and adults.
