The Sherezade Method. Photography as Self-awareness and Method of Learning

Abstract

The aim of this study is to methodise aspects of a pedagogical strategy, a heuristic design of self-awareness, that promotes the fusion of education, art and research. It is born out of methods developed by myself implemented during the module on photography as part of a Degree in Fine Arts at The University of Granada in Spain, using the foundations of ‘Dan Tian’ and concepts developed from Taoism by Mantak Chia. The student artist will discover their own way of expressing visual images which expose their inner being.
