I am very happy to be a part of Valencia Design Education Forum 2020 / #VDEF2020! The theme of this year’s forum is Analogue+Digital.
Welcome to the presentation/workshop “Mail Art + Pen Friends = Dear You Art Project” on Thursday, November 5th from 11-12 (EEST) and from 17-18 (EEST) there will be a Spanish speaking translator. Both presentations will happen via ZOOM. Register by emailing Arlene at arlene.dearyou(at)gmail.com. You will receive the ZOOM link after registration.
Dear You connects children, their teachers, and artists internationally by making and sharing art with new friends from abroad. Through this process of exchange, a child’s worldview is widened and their skills for self-expression are honed. The exchange of process-based art projects with their new friends living in all corners of the world opens up dialogue, perspectives, and understanding.
Arlene Tucker, the founder and creator of Dear You, will share how the project has evolved since its inception in 2013. She will also give insight as to how digital and analogue practises have supported the project and exchange between all participants living in all corners of the world. Due to COVID-19, Dear You's methodology and practise of inclusion and exchange have been challenged. She will share and open discussion how these challenges have pushed for more innovation to blossom. We will put these concepts into practise in an online process-based exercise. By opening dialogue through art practise, we can create meaningful experiences and inclusive spaces.
Para hacer que el proyecto de arte “Mail Art + Pen Friends = Dear You Art” en el Valencia Design Education Forum 2020 sea más inclusivo y accesible para nuestros amigos de habla hispana y para nuestros amigos en América del Sur, tendremos otra presentación y taller el jueves 5 de noviembre: ese día nos acompañará un traductor de habla hispana a las 10 de la mañana, hora Colombia [17: 00-18: 00 (EEST)]. Regístrese enviándome un correo electrónico a arlene.dearyou (at) gmail.com. Recibirá el enlace ZOOM después de registrarse.
Valencia Design Education Forum 2020 / #VDEF2020 is organised by the team of the New Art School, Glug Valencia and EASDV.
The mission of the VDEF2020 is to bring together industry, lecturers and students to discover new ways of working together, forging curriculum that is more appropriate for this time. VDEF2020 is a practitioner’s conference that seeks solutions that are immediately applicable for the betterment of Art and Design Education as a whole. We are looking to have an honest and open conversation about the current state of practice based art and design education.
