Understanding the world through the senses
Art workshops for children aged 6 to 11i 24 October 2015 – 28 May 2016
7 meetings in collaboration with Oblò to offer children the opportunity to touch and manipulate the reality around them, constructing new objects and talking about the sensations they receive, to share wonder and amazement, thanks to the use of new materials and the original and unexpected use of already known objects.
Art for the hands
- Saturday 24 October 2015 at 16:00 - 18:00
The workshop will be a place to get to know everyday materials such as paper, fabric, plastic, sponge, and powders by learning how to use and transform them with creative actions, resulting in a tactile reading of the work created.
The scent of a faraway place
- Saturday 28 November 2015 at 16:00 - 18:00
The workshop will take place in two stages: initially, the children will stimulate their sensory memory and make their senses curious. They will then fix the powders in a pattern as if they were colours.
Recycling through play
- Saturday 30 January 2016 at 16:00 - 18:00
During the workshop we will make toys using recycled materials. Simple toys that look to the past, but are still fun.
Modern mosaic
- Saturday 27 February 2016 at 16:00 - 18:00
We will use commonly used plastic materials such as corks, cutlery and plates, and straws, focusing on shape and colour to create an elaborate piece using the mosaic technique.
Ready made: objects that change identity
- Friday 25 March 2016 at 16:00 - 18:00
We will transform objects through the use of colour and small materials that will be provided. The new object must have a new identity, a new name and use.
Looking to the future
- Saturday 23 April 2016 at 16:00 - 18:00
What will the world be like in 30 years? How do I imagine the future? During the workshop we will make mask glasses that will describe how we imagine the world to come. We will use the same base for all in the shape of glasses, which will be customised through decoration with ribbons, strips of
fabric, coloured and transparent plastics.
Transformation of time
- Saturday 28 May 2016 at 16:00 - 18:00
Time goes by sometimes slow and sometimes fast, we need a special clock that tells time in a different way. During the workshop we will make differently shaped clocks to stop time and tell a story about a moment of the day that we would like to stop.
