SCHOOL VISITS TO THE NEWART CENTRE
Guided school visit to our centre
The visit is not only a cultural activity, but also an educational tool to explore the contemporary world from a STEAM, creative and reflective perspective.
The guided visit to the NEWART centre creates a competency-based learning experience that puts students in direct contact with contemporary artistic languages (light, sound, installation, interaction), technological processes (algorithms, artificial intelligence, data, sensors and digital systems) and inquiry-based methodologies grounded in observation, hypothesis formulation, interpretation and communication.
This proposal fits particularly well with the current curriculum in Catalonia, as it activates specific competences linked to artistic education, visual and audiovisual culture, music, mathematics, environmental studies, physics, technology and digital competence.

Can a machine be an artist?
Digital Explorers
- Students aged 6-12
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Schedule: Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm
- Type: Guided tour (themed and adapted)
- Capacity: Maximum 30 students
- Price: €125 per group
What do they gain from the experience?
- Scientific and artistic curiosity
- Creativity and critical thinking
- Awareness of technology and sustainability
- Expression of emotions, ideas and interpretations
For 60 minutes, students stop being spectators and become the protagonists of an immersive journey inside an interactive museum.
They explore a space where artworks react, transform and respond to their actions. This experience sparks curiosity, activates critical thinking and fosters meaningful learning.
What do children experience during the visit?
The visit begins with a question: “Can a machine be an artist?”. From there, students venture into an environment where light, sound and image behave differently from everyday reality.
As they move through different artistic installations…
They discover a city built from recycled computer parts, inviting reflection on sustainability and material transformation.
They experience how colours turn into sound, creating connections between visual and auditory perception.
They explore sensations of movement and space without physically moving, understanding how technology can alter perception.
They actively participate in installations that respond to their movement, turning them into direct agents of artistic creation.
They pass through digital landscapes that evolve with their actions, encouraging curiosity and questioning of the world around them.
