Abstract: This outreach project has as its overarching objective the investigation of how specific landscapes, understood as Umwelt (the surrounding and meaningful world of each subject), can be mobilised as a methodological and poetic foundation for artistic creation within the field of visual arts. The proposal is grounded in the recognition that creative processes are profoundly shaped by subjects’ sensorial experiences of their physical, cultural, and symbolic environments. In this sense, the project seeks to develop pedagogical and research practices that take into account the singularity of the formative trajectories of participating students and artists.
