Las Batallas Nocturnas – Niños y niñas de entre 6 y 12 años de edad.
Taking from the idea that basic education with subjects such as mathematics and Spanish are already covered. I am interested in working with another branch of learning and mental development; creativity and imagination. They also play a very important role in the development of any person and especially in children between 6 and 12 years old.
I would like to obtain brief written testimonies from boys and girls from the school located in the Maniantepec community, about a dream that they remember. Something very simple, where with a phrase or small text, tell me about your dream. I am going to translate each sentence into drawings that will later be part of a dream map that includes all these students’ thoughts. The map will be placed on the concrete of the main patio and will include, in addition to the elements of the children’s dreams, lines, circles and shapes that will function as elements to unite all these thoughts in a conceptual map that will incite the children to play and imagine their own games on their playground!
Each circle, square, line or drawing can be used as a pretext for the imagination. Join the lines, give the meanings of “islands” to the circles and walk over each element
The project aims to stimulate the creative and imaginative development of children in a playful, effortless way and through play. Something that is very little explored in basic education in Mexico but that is a fundamental part for the development of each child. Said game platform will also generate community among the students themselves, play teams will be formed and will incite thoughts outside of the typical school tasks. It is intended that the patio becomes a space free of thought where the rules do not exist.
