Build your Own Lab| Morning Session: 10.00 am – 1.00 pm ::
Afternoon Session: 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm
This lab will provide hands on training for teachers in
cross-disciplinary collaborations between science-technology-arts. It will help
the teachers to understand how scientific concepts, technological developments
and creative interventions could all combine together to provide innovative and
creative solutions for the multidisciplinary tasks of our times. This Lab also
marks a significant shift from the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics) approaches which are prevalent in the education system to a STEAM
based approach which integrates art, science and technology together. This lab
will enable the teachers to use artistic skills, visual thinking, and scientific
learning and thinking which will enrich their classroom teaching and personal
practice. Apart from this, the experience of integration will help the teachers
and students to better reflect on their own practices, material choices and
outcomes. This dynamic integration will also help them to use scientific
visualisation to create or tinker by broadening the ambit of learning and
include the context specific requirements of their schools and the community.

Partner a Master: Artist-Mentor Program is an initiative that
fosters the notion of creativity as applied imagination for children in private
and public schools. This entails introducing children to artists’ studios as
spaces of imaginative learning, discovery and transformative thinking. Employing
art as a pedagogical tool, this initiative emphasizes on visual literacy,
collective learning, and the role of the arts in cognitive and creative
competencies. In this lab, teachers will be introduced to the way artists work
in studios and public spaces by interacting directly with contemporary national
and international artists. Artists will directly speak to teachers about their
creative processes and methods, in the spirit of the lab transforming into an
artists’s studio. Hands-on exercises, analysis and discussion based on a seminal
project of the artists will be done, with teachers producing ideas and artworks
that they can implement in their schools with their students.
This lab will be divided into two parts: in the first two
days, teachers will interact with two contemporary Indian artists each day who
will mentor them on visual thinking and process-based learning.
On the third day, teachers will e-interact with Elke Zobl, an
associate professor at the University of Salzburg through a webinar. She focuses
on artistic, cultural and media practices in respect to questions of
participation, community engagement and cultural mediation. Through a day long
participation, she will introduce the teachers to the toolbox Making Art, Making
Media, Making Change!
