MASK DESIGN AND CHARACTER CREATION

As a finale to the weekend workshops this academic year, 2012-2013, we have the pleasure of being in the company of the designer Pep Carrió, for a few hours, in which time he suggested we invent imaginary characters, that will be turned into masks to be played with.   Robots, monsters, pirates, princesses and heroes accompany us in this playful workshop, in which recycled materials are let loose with the imagination. A workshop for children and parents.   This weekend activity, forms part of LED ;-) ’ s Laboratorio Expeimental’s (Experimental Laboratory’s) design and creativity for primary education program, in which we approach the creative and resolute possibilities that design offers up to us. In this Laboratory we seek a type of learning that is creative and progressive. We are not so much seeking to gain a visual result, but rather a creative experience with the qualities derived from the different manifestations of design: Fashion, interior design, product design, and graphic design.   Coordination and implementation of the workshops   muakbabi   muakbabi is a studio that designs decorative objects for children and is involved in cultural administration. The latest instalment of our activities, serves as a vehicle, with which, to convey the values that form a structural part of the objects we design: starting off with the concept of design being defined as a transmitter for the plurality of realities that exist in global culture, the respect of nature and natural resources, respect for the cultures of other towns and that of our own, game play, creativity and of course fun as a strategy for learning…that’s it, design with an educational value.
