Mixing colours

PROYECTO FINAL: MIXING COLOURS



La presente unidad didáctica, titulada Mixing colours, se ha llevado a cabo bajo los principios de la metodología AICLE y está orientada al primer curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, asignatura Arts and Crafts. Se ha estructurado a lo largo de seis sesiones, cada una de ellas de cincuenta y cinco minutos.
Su finalidad principal es iniciar al alumnado en el estudio y manejo consciente del color, a través del conocimiento de su teoría básica y posterior puesta en práctica. Así, la tarea que se propone es la elaboración de un círculo cromático, con el consiguiente desarrollo de colores primarios, secundarios, terciarios, oposición de complementarios y relación de afines.

Los objetivos de aprendizaje que se pretenden conseguir son los siguientes:
- To learn vocabulary related to colour
- To differentiate between coloured lights and colour pigments
- To know the primary, the secondary and the complementary colours
- To know the tertiary colours
- To explore colour tones and colour families
- To understand the importance of colour in our world and in art
- To engaged students to paint and drawing

Respecto a las distintas actividades, que en su mayoría se realizarían en parejas, se ha buscado que resulten motivadoras para el alumnado y que siguieran una secuenciación progresiva de dificultad. De igual modo, se ha pretendido que las actividades lingüísticas sean completas y variadas: canciones, textos, ejercicios interactivos, conversación,…
Como premisa fundamental, el desarrollo de un ambiente de respeto y confianza en el aula, donde el error se considera parte del proceso de aprendizaje y es bienvenido.

Por último, señalar que la última sesión se dedica a la puesta en común de la tarea realizada. Cada pareja de alumnos deberá exponer y comentar (obviamente en inglés) su círculo cromático, a modo de resumen de todo lo aprendido en la unidad. De esta forma, a la vez que se practica la lengua inglesa, se comparte el trabajo realizado, se aprecia el del resto de compañeras y compañeros, y se crea un sentimiento de responsabilidad hacia el trabajo realizado.


El desarrollo de las sesiones y recursos empleados sería el que se detalla a continuación.

It is mainly based on the hands-on experience at designing units and on conversations with experts and peers. The theory of the 4Cs by Do Coyle has also been taken into account. This theory has been shown in various publications, such as: Coyle, D., Hood, P. and Marsh, D., 2010. Content and Language Integrated Learning. Cambridge University Press.
