Abstract
Our experience in the field of education has shown us the importance of developing creativity, both as an attitude towards life as well as an educational method. The world, in which we live, saturated by repetitive images and noise in all areas, makes us express the need to overcome stereotypes. Thus, we have launched this project, which aims to develop a process of artistic creation in the fields of music and the plastic arts together, since it is understood that the relationship between these two artistic facets give rise to more comprehensive creative work.
This projects aims to empower students so that they develop the entire creative process just as artists do, from the conception of an idea until the materialisation of the result. Music students in the teacher training school created musical and literary compositions inspired by artist’s books created by pre-school students, each of which is based on a concrete theme. Subsequently, they recorded a video of the creative process as a whole. A presentation of the accomplished work in public completed the project, which closed the process and ended in a personal evaluation.
