Visit to Taidekoulu Maa ( http://www.taidekoulumaa.fi/opetus/iltaopetus) for observation and to discuss
possible teaching practice.
Time: 18.00- 20.30 pm
Taidekoulu Maa is located on the beautiful island of
Soumenlinna and the evening had just the perfect light for taking photographs as I took the trip on a ferry.
I met the teacher Egle Oddo who will be my mentor and I was
very excited to see the school premises in an old building, that must
have been built around 150 years ago. The ceilings are semi-circular and the
space is ideal for an art studio with wooden floors splattered with paint, lots
of interesting furniture, sculptures and paintings to get you inspired. Very
free, organic space where one can just focus on doing the art work.
There are 12 students who are part of the course “How to
Inhabit a Transitory Space”
part II from 13.01.2014 to 29.04.2014.
They are getting their portfolio ready for applications to
Universities or other Art related Degree courses.
Also there is an exhibition on the 9th of April, called MAA for
AAVE which is part of the larger exhibition AAVE FESTIVAL: NIGHT OF THE BEAMERS.
(www.nightbeamers.org)
The students will participate in this exhibition, this is an
opportunity for them to show their audio-visual work as the content is focused
on projections.
I have introduced myself to the students and talked about their
portfolios and individual pieces of work.
I will prepare one hour lesson for next Monday the 31st of March, on
Installation Art. Egle would like me to focus on practical aspect of teaching
and to prepare an exercise in arranging objects in space.
