There are two activities for pre-school groups: one is dedicated to design objects and their histories, the other is based on animal-shaped sculptures and their characteristics. Each includes a workshop where the children can model their personal creations in clay.
All the info on booking and costs can be found at the bottom of the page.
Things tell stories
Objects are silent and still, but they do have stories to tell. In order to discover them, girls and boys have to touch and listen to them. A small “survey form” will help them to explore the object and understand all its facets. In the workshop, they will use clay and perceive how objects can leave ‘footprints’ and how they convey a presence, a transit. The children will make a composition by pressing objects into raw-clay tiles. These delightful 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 emotional states through modelling
Duration: 2 hours.
An imaginary bestiary
Animals live in the museum too! With the aid of a tactile book, the class will discover all the animal sculptures. 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 experiences of the event. 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 emotional states through modelling
