VISUAL EDUCATION NuriaEstepa

Transnatura was the starting point of this subject and project. Such a good experience inspired me to create some artworks about nature which, actually, helped me to understand what Nature and the Earth really means to me. At first, I knew I enjoy walking around the forest but I did not realise the emotional connection I have been created everytime I was close to it until the creation of the 2D work. In this point, I started to reflect on the experiences I had with it for triying to know which emotions arise on me. It was not an easy task to discover how to represent them since you feel more than one thing in every moment. However, most of them at end are quite related to, you feel the same but in another context (different places moments, people, emotional states...). For instance, the first time I have been in Núria's Valley I felt exhaused after walking a lot and during Transnatura I felt scared of walking due to wind. That is to say, even the same places and actions can provok...

This is my 4D Proposal which is a video that tries to convey how do I see and understand Nature. I do it through the viewing of an album with photos of my childhood so as to transmit the idea that Nature has always been with me and that I cannot exist without it because Nature is part of my life. Hope you enjoy the video. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Lx3M5rPj29hmjup4La22vlDJwL8hKU5I

 After seeing the exhibition of August Sander, in Palau de la Virreina (BCN), where we had the opportunity to look at his way of understanding the 20thCentury, now we present you the work done about him. You could see it in the following slides or link.         Link:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qqxvNAdrFdeO3Ymsn0N9tGb7KXKYsubk12ZCz1sAhUQ

Hello, I am working on my project " What nature gives me " and I have already created a three dimension object: The tree of feelings. My aim was to link all the emotions that I feel when I am next to nature and for doing so I put some key images of specific moments in which nature makes me feel. For instance, I showed a camera t o say I love taking photos of flowers, a basket with food to represent those moments of picnic, a backbag to express the importance of doing trips and breath clean oxygen from the mountain among other elements. All of them have two things in common that its nature and my feelings, in other words, my life. For doing this theee, I used wire which I molded until it looked like a tree. I gave it a little life using some small flowers of different colors and placed the tree in a pot with soil. Finally, I included some small papers with the stickers representing my emotions.

Hello, here you have the link of our work about artists that ispired us. This research has been done by Carolina Carbó, Paula Encinas, Ariadna Roca, Mariona Gibert and me, Nuria Estepa. In it we talk about Miranda Lloyd, Vincent Van Gogh or Claude Monet, among others. Link of the presentation:   https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AWmDoHoxs3O-koJ9BiV24ri7p_Jy0xrBNpwX_lseXnU 

You could see below the image I have done to represent my project's topic called " What nature gives me ". I wanted to represent the emotion of "calm" since it is what I feel when I am next to nature and specifically through the moment in which some sheeps are grazing because I consider they feel calm too. I included the image inside a cup representing another moment I feel peace which is when I am at home drinking a cup of chocolate. I hope you can also understand the meaning.

This is the final version of my own mind map. I have included my emotions among other ideas that came to my mind when I remember the trip to Núria's Valley last October.This work will help me to reflect on what I want to do in my project which may be related to Transnatura. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today we have already started to thik about the thopic we would like to consider for doing the project of Transnatura. For doing so, we first had to create a second mindmap with concepts closer to our proposal. This is my mindmap two I am thinking about having as a thopic  What nature gives me as a whole?  (person and animal) So, now I may start thinking which would be my 2D representation.
