Activity 6: I Dolls

The activity consists of creating a felt doll of oneself, working on one's own skin colour and thus diversity. The activity is inspired by the work Humanae by the artist

ANGÉLICA DASS. As well as her work in schools. The aims of the activity are:

To celebrate diversity and the uniqueness of each person. To encourage self-esteem. To try to break with racism by deconstructing the concept of race. To work on critical thinking. To work on colour mixing. To encourage creativity through sewing..

The example was made using the same materials as in the kit, also inspired by Picasso and his way of making human faces. For a better hold of the painted felt, I used a silicone glue in a bottle, included in the kit.

5. Conclusions

I consider that this project has been very formative both professionally and personally.

I have been able to reflect values that I consider very important in society, in an artistic kit format, merging several disciplines, which has helped me to have a global and transversal vision of education, especially artistic education.

I also hope that the resources presented and shared have helped my colleagues as well.

I consider that the topics covered may be somewhat controversial, but they should be treated naturally in young children to enable them to develop better emotionally, psychologically and physically.
