Interested in how can language be taught through visual arts?

"Art is here to take us beyond language. "

Visualize this:

1. Paint an abstract painting
2. Try to describe the painting in English/German
3. Tell the story behind it

In this course students explore the language of art and art production. Roxana Ené uses visual arts as a learning tool in German and English classes. Students learn to practise German and English through drawing, painting and hand lettering.

Every painting tells a thousand words - that makes learning German and English through art easy and enjoyable.

Why take this course?

Art is important to language learning because students learn through various ways and senses, so: it stimulates multiple parts of the brain and this leads to higher levels of retention.

Using synaesthesia as an instrument is one very interesting approach during the Roxy&Kids Art workshops and an exciting new learning experience for children. Music is colourful and inspiring and painting the music we are listening to while dancing takes this experience to the next level.

Art contextualizes and illustrates the English / German concept that is being taught. It imitates and enhances students´realities. It incorporates all aspects of language. It can be used to teach almost any language topic/skill.

Art is so "open to interpretation" that it generates endless ideas/language."

Participants will start appreciating the arts and improve their skills and creativity.

Perfect for groups of  10.
