The Proxecta Plan is an initiative of the Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria, in collaboration with different organizations, aimed at promoting educational innovation in schools through educational programs that develop key competences as the core of the curriculum and cross-cutting elements , which include education in values. These are the two “Proxectas” of the IES Frei Martín Sarmiento: TIConsumes, O Tempo desde o Sarmiento and Proxecta de Ríos.
Fotografía en Curso is a project included in the Proxecta Plans, in which we are working from the Departments of Drawing, English and Geography and History, and in which schools from different areas of Galicia, Catalonia, Madrid, Argentina and Chile are participating.
The project is based on the use of photography as a vehicle for getting to know the local reality. Through the viewing of photographs by professional artists and the experience of taking photographs by the students themselves, we seek to reflect critically on the environment, delving into a wide range of values: artistic, social, cultural… trying to increase the sensitivity and creativity of our students.
The work is carried out through specific photographic proposals, planned and studied in depth through the analysis of photographs in the classroom. Some of the themes dealt with are the following: Balearic spaces, Portraits of the elderly, Photographs from the balcony, etc.
