Art is a universal language, accessible to students and teachers of diverse backgrounds and abilities.
Collective art-making is an exercise in sharing, critical thinking, problem-solving, and classroom management.
Through group painting, installation, or other creative challenges, team members will practice skills transferable to the classroom – such as effective communication, critical thinking, and compromise.
In “creating” together, individuals will work toward a common goal and build trust in one another, resulting in a healthier and happier school environment for teachers and students.
At EAC we provide art experiences (training courses, workshops, conferences, corporate events) for schools and companies, in groups and teams, online, at our office in Barcelona, or on-site at your institution.
