Infelizmente, devido a condicionantes do serviço, as disciplinas foram limitadas a uma sessão por mês, o que tornou as aulas desafiantes. Porém, partindo de noções básicas para compreensão da forma e gesto, avancei para exercícios mais concretos de aplicação de conhecimentos, focados em retrato, como forma de incitar nos alunos a procura pela expressão. Alguns dos desenhos integraram a mostra colectiva de final do ano, no Museu Casa Mora – Sala Azul (Montijo).
Embora não vá ter disponibilidade para repetir a experiência no próximo ano lectivo, foi uma oportunidade única, que também me permitiu usufruir da infraestrutura na Casa Senhorial da Quinta do Saldanha, onde está inserida a Univ. Sénior, onde, por curiosidade, me estreei com uma exposição individual em 2005, com telas do tema Paisagem.
This
month wrapped-up my collaboration at the Senior University of Montijo, as a teacher invited to coordinate the Initiation to Drawing
class. Integrated in the Arts course of this academic year, baptized
of Ways of Viewing, also part of this course were the subjects of
Painting, by Guida Casella, Serigraphy, by António Miguel Coelho,
and History of Art, by Fernanda Birrento.
Unfortunately, due to service constraints, all the courses were limited to one session per month, which made the classes challenging. However, starting from basic notions for understanding the form and gesture, I moved on to more concrete knowledge applying exercises, focused on portraits, as a way to incite students to search for expression. A sellection of drawings were integrated in a collective exhibit, at the Museum Casa Mora – Sala Azul (Montijo).
Although I will not be available to repeat the experience in the next school year, it was a unique opportunity, which also allowed me to enjoy the infrastructure in Quinta do Saldanha's House, where the Senior University resides, and where, just out of curiosity, I held my very first individual exhibition back in 2005, with Landscape themed paintings.
