Juli\u00e1n Artacho and D\u00eddac Bautista<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

In January, 11 year-old D\u00eddac visited the museum with his in-home care teacher and his mother. We were particularly delighted to welcome them.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00eddac doesn\u2019t go to school because of a medical condition which is why the Ministry of Education provides him with this service. The visit went further than just looking at the works of art in the museum.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His teacher, Juli\u00e1n Artacho, had tasked him with producing some drawings based on his visit, bearing in mind that D\u00eddac loves drawing and writing. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit, and the opportunity to see the museum with his own eyes, encouraged us to want to share his work and, at the same time, give visibility to these alternative <\/em>educational environments: the home and the museum.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, D\u00eddac\u2019s teacher first gives some background to the visit and the work undertaken by in-home care teachers. Next, you can read what D\u00eddac wrote based on his visit.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P<\/strong>Taking the classroom into the home, in-home educational care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many school age children and adolescents with physical or psychiatric medical conditions that prevent them from going to school<\/strong>. In these cases it is possible for a teacher to be assigned to give classes at their homes<\/strong>. These are the teachers of the in-home education care service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00eddac is one\nof these children who, due to a serious illness, has been unable to attend\nschool for a very long time, but who has benefitted from having a teacher at\nhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the ideas that D\u00eddac came up with when he was studying in his \u2018private classroom\u2019 was a visit to the Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya<\/a>.  He was particularly interested in the Romanesque art section<\/a>, no doubt due to his siblings having told him about it or through his visits to the museum website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to prepare for the visit by informing the museum and also by swotting up, reading the website and books as well as preparing the material to be able to draw in situ<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next we have the story that D\u00eddac wrote about the visit as part of his work assignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDavid\u2019s amazing adventure at the Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya\u2019, a story by D\u00eddac Bautista<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Friday morning at 10:00, which is when the Museu Nacional opens, David and his mother were waiting ready at the doors, impatient to start their visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No sooner did David enter the magnificent museum, he felt the place had something special about it. Once they had climbed all the stairs, his mother said that she was going for a coffee and that he could do the visit all on his own. She would wait for him in the magnificent Sala Oval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
