Students explore the captivating world of kinetic art, where mechanics and artistry unite. Participants design, build, and experiment with drawing machines, ranging from simple hand-powered contraptions to complex automated systems, challenging traditional drawing boundaries. By learning mechanical principles and applying them creatively, the studio culminates in a showcase of innovative machines and the unique artwork they produce, highlighting the synergy between human creativity and mechanical ingenuity.
Time: 2 to 6hrs
Teamwork: Recommend group of 2 if class is 20 students, could do groups of 3 if we have more students.
Descripción del estudio:
Los estudiantes exploran el fascinante mundo del arte cinético, donde la mecánica y el arte se unen. Los participantes diseñan, construyen y experimentan con máquinas de dibujo, desde aparatos simples accionados a mano hasta sistemas automatizados complejos, desafiando los límites tradicionales del dibujo. Aprendiendo principios mecánicos y aplicándolos creativamente, el estudio culmina en una exhibición de máquinas innovadoras y las obras de arte únicas que producen, destacando la sinergia entre la creatividad humana y la ingeniosidad mecánica.
Duración: 2 a 6 horas
Trabajo en equipo: Se recomienda grupos de 2 si la clase tiene 20 estudiantes; podrían hacerse grupos de 3 si hay más alumnos.
