Apuntes de clase
EL ARTISTA COMO EDUCADOR
¿Quién o qué es un artista?
Un artista es quien hace lo que hoy en día llamamos arte.
Arte: El arte es una forma de estar en el mundo, de pensar. El arte es una forma de creación necesaria y única del ser humano que se utiliza para expresar inquietudes positivas o negativas como una especie de bienestar propio e incluso de desarrollo meritorio. O bien aquello que las grandes autoridades artísticas declaran como artístico (mercado, esferas museísticas, críticos, coleccionistas). El arte debe tener la intención de problematizar las diferentes cuestiones que nos afectan en el mundo y señalarlas creando espacios donde observarlos y/o hablar de ellos. El artista tiene como labor la construcción y experimentación estética en base a su momento contemporáneo.
¿Quién o qué es un educador?
Un educador es quien educa.
Educación: Educar es enseñar. Es la cualidad en el ser humano que se desarrolla gracias a causas externas como referencias en otras personas y se puede informar directamente a través de la palabra o de forma indirecta a partir de la práctica. Nos ayuda a desarrollar nuestras capacidades.
La educación es una acción y un proceso intencional, continuo y sistemático de perfeccionamiento de la persona en cualquiera de sus dimensiones (intelectual, física, estética, social, profesional, ética...).
¿Qué es educar?
Educare: criar, nutrir, alimentar.
Ex-ducare: extraer, sacar, hacer salir.

Educación progresista vs. educación como preparación, adiestramiento o formación. Escuela como medio para reconstruir el orden social.

Necesidad de partir de intereses y experiencias del estudiante.
Herbert Read (1893-1968).
El arte como base de la educación porque es integral, fomenta el crecimiento personal y la integración en la sociedad.
El arte potencia las cuatro funciones principales de los procesos mentales: pensamiento, sentimiento, sensación e intuición.
Lev Vigotski (1896-1934).
Se aprende por la interacción social, interiorizando la cultura ajena al sujeto pero propia de la sociedad a la que pertenece.

El arte como educación
*****
Durante la clase hemos hecho una actividad en grupos, en la que teníamos que intentar definir los conceptos de educar, enseñar, pedagogía y didáctica. Esta es la conclusión a la que llegamos en mi grupo:
Educar/enseñar: Lo puede realizar cualquier persona, consiste en aportar una serie de conocimientos y habilidades. Se puede hacer en cualquier ámbito. Se puede usar como término paraguas que engloba otras formas de enseñar.
Pedagogía/didáctica: Se siguen unas normas, se relaciona con instituciones, colegios, etc., donde se tienen que seguir unas pautas para aportar conocimientos.
Escribimos las definiciones en dos bloques, aunque en el momento de poner las respuestas en común nos dimos cuenta de que lo que se pedía era definir cada palabra por separado.

Experimental 1918 Winchester .50 Calibre Anti-Tank Rifle
In early December 1918, Winchester engineer Edwin Pugsley filed a patent protecting a bolt action .50 calibre anti-tank rifle with a rotary locking bolt. Initially designed as a test rifle for the .50 calibre round that was being developed, the gun was informally tested by the US Army. Designated officially the ‘Model 1918 .50 Calibre High Power Bolt Action Swivel Gun’.
Pugsley’s patent explains that the .50 calibre rifle’s bolt has limited longitudinal and rotary movement despite the size of its cartridge. The bolt appears to have a 90º counterclockwise throw. The object of the design being to increase the rifle’s rate of aimed fire. This was achieved by allowing the rifle to be cycles without the operator having to break his firing grip as the trigger and grip are mounted directly to the bolt.
The rifle had a gravity assisted top-loading magazine, aligned slightly off-centre. The prototype has an unusual butt stock profile, resembling that of a schuetzen target rifle. The rifle was chambered in the .50 BMG round developed by Winchester, it was capable of perforating 22mm of face-hardened armour steel plate at 91m and 19 mm at 500m.
The rifle has a tubular receiver reminiscent of the Winchester-Burton Machine Rifle. Pugsley’s rifle uses a M1911-style pistol grip shape, complete with grip panels, which also acts as the weapon’s bolt. It has the same standard M1917 Enfield flip-up rear sight which was also utilised in the Winchester-Burton Machine Rifle prototype. The final photograph (see image #5) shows the weapon with its recoil mitigating, presumably, test mount and a long, high mounted, optic suggesting Pugsley intended the rifle for longer range sniping or perhaps an anti-materiel role.
The rifle has an extremely large coil spring surrounding the barrel near the trunion attached to a recoiling test mount. The example pictured, currently held by the Cody Firearms Museum, has a cracked receiver which may have been the result of testing.
Arguably, the design was well ahead of time with an innovative action it seems that the war ended before further development could be completed. Pugsley’s design is certainly more ambitious than the German T-Gewehr. The .50 BMG round would later debut in the John Browning-designed M1921 which later evolved into the Browning M2.
Pugsley joined Winchester in 1911, as an apprentice engineer and worked in a dozen postions during his long career before retiring as Vice President of Research and director of Olin Industries in 1950. He died in November 1975, aged 90.
