Playing with matter: artisctic lenguage’s development strategys
Abstract
The present text is the result of a research carried out in a sculpture workshop and supposes a reflection on teaching at the present time to highlight the necessity of a revision in the methodologies of work in the university artistic teachings. It is no novelty to relate both categories, art and game, which have made important authors throughout the twentieth century from Huizinga and Callois, to Gadamer and Bruner among many others.
What is striking is an essential question: how to make in the pupil a spirit of search and exploration that does not start from a given idea (the subject), but that it arises from a research-game process with matter. What happens that in this phase of a very directed work, even in a field of game, is that begin to manifest strong bonds between who plays and his chosen matter. From these kinship we will see, later on, and progressively what we have seen to be consistent structures on which to construct their own (artistic) language.
