• Resumen

  • In this article, we present two concrete applications of the concept of the human element to chemistry education; starting with a course and experimental project on blue pigment synthesis and concluding with cross-disciplinary lessons and experiments on blue photography. In addition to the description of the content of these courses, we explore the motives that led us to taking this approach, its place in the local academic context, and the first results of these pedagogical experiments.
