Finalment, després de molta dedicació i treball, podem dir que les 10.000 hores, per fi estan acabades.

Penso que tot aquest any amb el projecte de l’escala, ens ha servit a tots per treballar amb un artista que viu en el difícil món de l’art. A més també hem pogut fer pràctiques d’allò que esudàvem. I tot ho em fet gràcies al treball en equip, un valor que ens ajuda a tots pels anys vinent a treballar conjuntament.

I despedint-me d’aquest bloc, només puc dir que m’ha encantat poder treballar amb el Salvador, amb en Miquel i amb els meus companys.

Montserrat Garcia Silva.

En aquest projecte anomenat 10.000 hores, hem estat treballant per tirar-lo endavant moltes persones, tan alumnes com a professors, com a col·laboradors del Salvador, fins i tot ell mateix, persona imprescindible en aquest projecte.

Tots hem estat col-laborant en equip, mentre que uns tallaven i polien les fustes, altres les muntàvem. I una vegada ja construïdes, l’únic que faltava, era passar una mà de pintura i quedaven perfectes. I tot això, amb l’ajuda del Miquel que ens guiava i corregia.

La primera vegada que vam començar a pintar érem tres, la Beatriz, el Marc i jo. Les pintàvem amb pintura blanca barrejada amb dissolvent, i per tant quedava molt diluïda.

Van ser dues hores molt entretingudes perquè, a més de pintar, vam poder parlar amb el Salvador de diferents temes tranquil·lament.

Mentre nosaltres pintàvem les escales, la meva escala la van estar muntant els altres i ni el Marc ni jo vam poder enllestir-les.  Això demostra que tots estem col·laborant conjuntament per construir i tenir acabades les escales. I que no cadascú fa la seva, tots formen part de “EN RESIDÈNCIA”.

En aquests moments, les escales ja estan muntades, i per grups de entre cinc i tres persones, ens anem repartint la feina, per pintar-les.
Quant les escales ja estiguin totes perfectes, seran exposades a la sala d’actes del nostre institut, i més tard, potser en una galeria d’art.

Per fi! Les escales ja estan llestes per exposar.

El procés ha estat costós. Les mides, els esbossos, l’AutoCat, el procés de construcció… Quin fart de polir peces! Algunes es van trencar, altres es van perdre i les van haver de d’elaborar nosaltres mateixos. També vam tenir l’oportunitat de fer servir el trepant, molts per primer cop. I la cola, més que fer-la servir per enganxar, semblava que fós una joguina. D’altra banda, la pintura blanca diluïda que vam fer servir per les escales encara no s’ha anat del braç. Ens ha costat molt, però el resultat ha estat molt satisfactori i gratificant.

Aquesta ha sigut una gran experiència, un curs diferent en què no només ens hem limitat a fer làmines, sinó que hem pogut formar part i realitzar un projecte des del començament fins al final. I aquesta experiència l’he pogut compartir amb els meus companys, el professors que han participat, sobretot en Miquel, i un artista realitzat com és en Salvador Juanpere.

El 16 d’abril vam rebre la visita dels responsables de l’ICUB (Institut de Cultura de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona) i del Consorci d’Educació de Barcelona, i d’alguns mitjans de comunicació com BTV, Info-K i Canal de Cultura, que van seguir i enregistrar una de les nostres sessions de construcció de les escales. Van tenir l’oportunitat de veure’ns en el nostre àmbit de treball i preguntar-nos sobre el nostre projecte amb el Salvador: de què tracta, com ho estem fent, què és el que més ens ha agradat…

Alguns de nosaltres vam ser entrevistats per una periodista de l’Info-K i vam donar a conèixer el nostre progrés dins del projecte. La càmera ens posava una mica nerviosos, i al principi se’ns feia difícil explicar-nos, però vam aconseguir fer-ho amb claredat. Aquest reportatge va ser emès fa uns dies, si el voleu veure podeu clicar en aquest enllaç.

Aquests últims dies hem estat treballant amb
el Salvador.

Divendres vam descarregar les fustes de la primera escala. Dimarts vam començar el treball de tallar les peces i polir-les. Tots ens vam esforçar per tenir muntat aviat el primer model que va enviar el taller de fusta.

Aquesta expreriència ha estat molt sorprenent i diferent ja que és una cosa que no es fa a classe en el dia a dia normal.

Treballar tots plegats és un repte per a tothom i, a més a més, és una experiència nova que ens agrada i ens fa disfrutar.

Els propers dies estem disposats a treballar m,és, per tal d’aconseguir el que ens proposem que és tenir totes les peces perfectament acabades per poder muntar les escales.

Some days ago, we went to visit Salvador Juanpere, at the University of Belles Arts.

First, he guided us through that place, where he teaches to future artists, and he told us a little bit about the history of that university.

I was surprised to see that on the walls, wardrobes, doors, trees.. there were a lot of exhibitions of art from the students in their free time, a spontanean exhibition of art. I liked it so much!

Then, after seeing how, many students work on different projects, we went to a class of our artist, Salvador. A girl and a boy presented their projects. the girl presented two videos, a video about a light effect, and another one about the missing of the family and the home when you’re far away. We comment on what we felt when we saw those videos.

The boy presented a sculture, but we hadn’t enough time to comment it.

The visit was really interesting.

On Wednesday 10 March, three weeks ago, students who will study plastic arts and Salvador’s Project of the stairs visit the Faculty of Belles Arts where Salvador teaches. He showed us what he teaches to his students.

When we went to the Faculty we were very surprised about this place because it is a very different environment it we compare this our school.

In the Faculty there are only people who like or that want to work in this, not like in high school, where many of us thinks it is compulsory education.
During our visit we saw the classes, most of the classes were workshops, they had different workshops for different things such as sculptures, paintings, etc…
In some of these workshops we found some students doing their Project and one of them told us what he was, doing, show he did it, and so forth.

While we were visiting the university, I saw many things that I liked.

At the end of the visit, we went to Salvador’s class, where he teaches and organizes other tasks such as videos, sculptures…
Salvador explained to his students our project, the project about the ladder, to try to make our small size ladder. Salvador began to explain how we developed it to the project with a high school, secondly we decided what stairs we were going to choose and finally we were made plans for the ladder AutoCAD program, which seemed.

I liked the visit, I had a different idea of what a faculty was or how the classes of faculty were. I thought all classes were like college classes or as a drawing workshop and so on.
I also liked how Salvador spoke to his students about the project. He seemed very happy and very excited to work and I hope we succeed in our project and I also hope he can do more projects with us again.

Last week we visited the art university in Barcelona. When we entered I saw a fresco on the wall and Miquel told me that it was a difficult artwork because in fresco you don’t have to do a mistake when you paint.

Then we went with Salvador, and we started the visit. As we went up the stairs I recognized the big painting on the wall; it was “Guernica” from Picasso. In the building there was a shop with drawing materials, showrooms and a lot of classes (for example we saw a photography class).

In another building (older than the first) we saw a room where students make molds with special machines. Salvador and Miquel told us that before they had been here to had classes when they were students. We went out to a free space where students modelled their sculptures, I saw some sculptures of the parts of the body , like lips, hands, a face…etc

After that, we met the students that Salvador teaches in the UB and we entered a spacious room. A student exposed a work with two videos. The title of the work was “Shoes” and it was about the isolation and privacy of people.

Finally, Salvador explained our project to his students with a power point presentation.

In my opinion the visit was exciting because it was the first time that I visited the university.

Last Wednesday, 9th of March, my partners of art class and me went to the UB, to the arts University in Barcelona.

We went there by subway and we arrived there at 11 o’clock, more or less. In the hall, I watched a big TV in the wall that showed some spots. We were waiting instructions while some students stared at us. “Had they never seen some children before?”, I thought. But well, I suppose it’s not usual to see children at the Universtity.

Then, we went to the garden next to the bar. Some of us went there and bought breakfast. In the garden where we were waiting to Salvador, there were a lot of people.

When Salvador arrived at the garden, he showed us some of the classes, pictures, a shop where the students can buy the material, some of the students’ sculptures and works, and an annex with a lot of tools. There was also a class that was in the street. The students cut some rocks and they were making forms and sculptures. There was one with an armadillo shape that was so cute! In another room, a student was working in a sculpture for a place of Bilbao, too. And in the stairs there was a BIG picture of Picasso’s Guernica.

It’s curious that there weren’t the typical classes where the students are sitting and writing what the teacher is explaining. People work in their projects in freedom, wherever and whenever they want.

After that, we assisted to a class where Salvador explained our project about the stairs to his students. One of them, a girl, showed us two videos that she had filmed. The first, showed an iron chair that drew a circle in the floor by the light reflected on the metal. The other one, showed her life in the London’s residence, where she had lived with other girls. With this video, she pretended to show the tension in a place where you’re living but it’s not your home.

Finally, the class finished and we left the University. We should stay at the high school at one o’clock, but we arrived there at two o’clock!

L’autocad és un programa molt complex, però a la vegada molt i molt útil.

Amb aquest programa em aconseguit fer l’escala desitjada, amb diferents vistes, amb totes les peçes que la componen i amb les mides pertinent.

Encara que perque fos menys complex, vam tenir que modificar suaument, la nostra escala.

Al principi de la seva utilització ens va costar bastant agafar el ritme, pero finalment ens vam adonar que alló que feiem que fos tan complicat era molt sencill.
