Creative Communication Skills (CCS) is a school project that re connect students with organic activities creating audio visual and multimedia products. More than an art class, this module has as main objective: Activate students in tangible activities that endorse their identity as a digital generation. This experience will make them feel materials rather than touch screens, this will also build bridges within their families to understand ways of communication.

Anatomy Diagrams
If you have worked with teenagers or just been around them, you know how they can easily get on your nerves, most of the time they tend to go against what ever means "work", however there are days when they wake up with this pro active spirit and they just get on this smooth and amazing attitude that surprises everyone. We had an amazing class, we even asked to our English Teacher Norma to let us take the second hour to keep going and we ran our two hours so peacefully and focused. This group was at 7:45 am excited and happy, and you know teenagers love to sleep. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THAT NICE MORNING START.

Pixels to another level
We took pixel art to a bigger scale, and as annoying as it could be for the students to map grids and cut pieces of paper, the idea of this activity was to work on teams and let them interact with different responsibilities, but over all, we worked on TO BE PATIENT.
Now a days students want everything fast, everything done in a couple of clicks and they have no desire for things that can be built step by step. Sometimes we forget to teach and learn basic habits such as cutting, measuring and even getting hands dirty, another thing, is that after a long and cold winter, working outside under the sun breathing fresh air, also give us a different feeling and class dynamic.

What does anatomy has to do with a CCS class?
Pretty simple, our body where we live is the first communication tool we have, not only thru verbal resources but also body language. Learning about the container where we live, is appreciating and being aware of our potential and our possibilities to create.
