Celebrating art and creativity
The Sant Josep de Reus College has begun an exciting initiative with its first week of the Arts, designed to bring the students closer to the work of the remarkable painter Marià Fortuny i Marsal, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of his death.
A symbolic start
On April 22, the Fortuny Theater will be the scene of a special moment. All classes will receive a symbolic letter from the curtain’s dragonfly, which represents a work by Fortuny. This letter will mark the beginning of artistic week, filling the classrooms of inspiration and creativity.
Activities for everyone
During the Arts Week, scheduled from April 22 to 30, students will participate in various activities that coincide with important commemorative dates, such as World Art Day and World Book Day. These dates provide an enriching context for scheduled activities.
An interdisciplinary project
The event not only focuses on the visual arts, but also integrates other educational disciplines. Teachers will work together to foster creativity and critical thinking through Fortuny’s figure, creating a dynamic learning atmosphere.
Collaboration is key
This artistic week is part of the Araart Innovation Project, which seeks to strengthen art education through collaborations with external agents, such as the Dance School of the Reading Center. This alliance will not only enrich the educational experience, but also promote inclusion and equity in teaching.
A spectacular closure
On April 30, the Arts Week will reach its highlight with a performance in the yard, where more than 1,100 students will meet to share what they have learned and created this week. This event will not only celebrate the figure of Fortuny, but also the collective effort of the entire educational community.
A future full of possibilities
As the Sant Josep College continues to explore the art world, it is expected that initiatives such as the Arts Week inspire future generations to actively appreciate and participate in creativity. This celebration is not only a memory of Fortuny, but a step towards more artistic and innovative teaching.
