We offer three proposals dedicated to kindergarten. All of them include clay modeling to create artifacts. These will be fired and can be collected in the following days.
You can find information about costs and booking at the bottom of the page.
Things tell stories
Objects are silent and still, but they have stories to tell. In order to discover them, girls and boys have to touch and listen. A small “survey form” will help them explore the object and understand all its facets. In the workshop, they will use clay and learn how objects can leave “footprints” and convey a presence, a transit. The children will make a composition by pressing objects into raw-clay tiles. These artefacts can be fired at no extra cost and become ‘terracotta pictures’.
Our aims:
- make design accessible;
- develop and enhance the senses of touch, sight and hearing;
- stimulate creative learning;
- enhance the processes of perception and communication
- optimize eye / hand coordination;
- encourage the expression of emotions through modelling.
Duration: 2 hours.
An imaginary bestiary
Animals inhabit in the museum too! With the aid of a tactile book, the class will discover all the sculptures shaped like animals. Observation and touch are essential for understanding what a sculpture is and what its tactile characteristics are. Is it hard or soft? Rough or smooth? Which animal is it? What is your favourite animal?
After the clay-modelling workshop, we will encourage the children to talk about their impressions. Their creations will be fired at no extra cost and can be collected later.
Our aims:
- make art accessible;
- enable amazement;
- develop and enhance the sense of touch;
- stimulate the processes of perception and communication;
- optimize eye-hand coordination;
- encourage the expression of emotions through modelling.
Duration: 2 hours.
Let’s make a portrait!
This learning activity starts with a fundamental question: “what is a portrait?”
In order to represent ourselves, we must understand how we are made. How do we do this?
By observing ourselves and touching our faces, discovering the position of our eyes, nose and mouth.
A walk among the Museum’s sculptures will allow us to recognize other faces and emotions and discover the characteristics of portraits.
In the workshop, each child will model a portrait in clay, using various objects to make imprints and enrich the faces.
The pieces will be fired and can be collected in the days following the visit.
Our aims:
- introduce children to art;
- encourage a sense of wonder and beauty;
- enhance tactile perception;
- discover the language and structure of the face;
- improve eye-hand coordination;
- learn and experiment with clay-modelling techniques.
Duration: 2 hours.
