Throughout the 2024/2025 academic year, two lecturers teaching Laboratorio de Imagen and Pintura I, subjects belonging to the first year of the degrees taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), addressed the issue of ‘self-representation’ with the same group of students. Although each subject approached the concept from different perspectives, the students' personal histories became the cornerstone of their creations. Despite the fact that there was no prior coordination between the two teachers when working on this topic, both concluded that it was a positive and enriching teaching experience.
Through an a/r/tographic vision, this text presents two case studies on the experiences of each discipline when working on the concept of ‘self-representation’, focusing on the methodology used, the creative process experienced and the pedagogical value it can bring.
The conclusions drawn from the two case studies developed in this article are the starting point for a joint project that is being designed by both subjects and will be developed throughout the 2025/26 academic year.
