children
For children, the interaction with matter is a process made of continuous defeats, victories, discoveries and wonder. For 6-10 yo children, I lead workshops and activities that make use of various techniques and materials (watercolour, tempera colours, pastels, collage, papier-mâché, paper, cardboard, assembly, cutting).
I often associate the imaginative aspect with the discovery of materials and tools, proposing activities inspired by stories and myths from every era and every place. After exploring traditional art from various countries around the world, this year the children are working on traditional Greek and Minoan myths.
teenagers and young people
Research and creation processes in the artistic field are ways of self-discovery and can be tools for dialogue with one's own soul and with the Anima Mundi. The psychogeographic drift, storytelling, video editing used as an intuitive poetic/associative tool, are all practices that lead us to develop an intimate and personal dialogue with the reality that surrounds us and with our inner worlds. In these workshops, I proposed research practices aimed at opening up to the synchronicities in the creative process.
