BALANCE IN ART
Instructor(s):
Iván Gómez
Level(s):
11th grade
The idea was for the student to assume the role of a contemporary visual artist who was hired by the History Channel to create a work of art that would merge art and science. The work made by the artist should be based on Newton's works of dynamics. This request is made because History Chanel intends to present this work in commemoration of Salvador Dalí's birthday. The artist had to build a work that will be presented as an art exhibition at the Innovation Center and aimed at students who are able and willing to attend the Altamira International School.

Students in grades four to six worked in small groups to design their own video game, using a worksheet or programming guide to help them follow the process. They were encouraged to think about the game's story, characters, objectives, and game levels. Once the game was designed, Scratch was used to program it. Each group presented their video game to the rest of the students, explaining their story, characters, objectives, and game levels. Then, a discussion was opened on how video games can be improved and what the students learned during the activity.
