Learning Through Art 2020

Kids tend to learn better when they play an active role and have a say in their own learning process. This program encourages them to ask questions, give free rein to curiosity, explore inspiring ideas, and experience the thrill of discovery.

Each project is bespoke and unique. They have all been designed as open processes and adjusted to meet individual skills and interests. When implemented, they make room for play and improvisation, research and exploration, trial and error. In the artistic process, kids think, appreciate, choose, try, have doubts, have fun, get lost, get stuck, and, of course, make mistakes–for there can be no progress without mistakes.

The school year is coming to a close, and so is this project. The creative process can now be shown and shared. Staging and showing an exhibition gives a new meaning to the work done. By reaching out to others, the exhibition brings the artistic process to a close. The works meet their viewers. The kids will have the chance of showing what they did in the Museum, in an event that is bound to boost their self-esteem and to stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Like every summer, the Education Space at the Museum will be filled with works by schoolchildren. From 26 June to 27 September, visitors will be able to take a look at them, as they enjoy the little artists’ fresh, original perspectives.
