WHERE
Jesi Art Gallery- Section of Ancient Art

DURATION
the workshop offers two 2 hour meetings. It is possible to have one meeting depending on the school’s needs

COST
€ 2,00 per child

The children will understand the works of the great Renaissance artist and explore the beautiful Gallery of the Stuccoes, in a process that aims to highlight the difference between simply "looking" at and '"observing" a work of art - be it painting, sculpture or architecture - to get to understand its value as a document of history, technology and the taste of a particular era.

The planned activities serve to get children to read works of art through an iconography approach, which helps them to observe and understand an image in its figurative, technical and narrative aspects. And this is the opportunity to introduce themes of iconography, noting that the possibility of recognising a character is given by the presence of an object, an animal, a particular clothing that allows you to avoid confusion. In addition to the iconographic aspect, the narrative aspect of the work of art is analysed, starting from the altarpiece of Saint Lucia by Lotto, a real historical document through images.

In the analysis of the complexity of each piece of art, the technical and material aspect is important: not only are the children helped to distinguish different materials and media in works of art (paintings on wood, canvas, clay sculptures, stuccoes, etc..) but also to retrace the steps leading the painter to the creation of the work of art, from drawing the outline of the design to the distribution of colours according to the choice of lighting for the scene. A final aspect, which is not at all secondary, is to familiarise the children with the museum, for it to be perceived as an open and welcoming space, offering knowledge and fun at the same time.

ABC
It is easy to understand beauty (if you know how to)

Amat Project to Refresh!

The project stems from the need to recover the fundamental experiences of the arts - the ABC, in fact - proposing them to the younger generations as an antidote to a society dominated by confusion and fragility. Hence the title, which refers to the first instrument of knowledge available to children: the ABC book of elementary education for learning to read and write. The project involves the construction of various activities for the promotion of fundamental knowledge, which were identified among the apexes that human genius was able to create in the arts. Symbolically linked to some letters of the alphabet, they go on to make a real manual dedicated to "beauty", where each letter corresponds to a training proposal conceived and cared for by professionals in each sector. The result is a curious ' menu ' consisting of shows - conferences, meetings, visits and tours, as follows:

L as Lorenzo Lotto
in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Jesi

Through a journey of discovery, which starts from the school, where we intend to propose a meeting with Lotto the man before the artist, and ends in the Gallery, the children will have the opportunity to discover the restless and wandering character of this artistic genius of the 1500s. By following his footsteps in Jesi, one of the major cities of Marches which proudly hosted him and his works, they will face an unusual and fun treasure hunt, where the first real treasure will be the wonder at the beauty of Lotto himself.

Methods:
- a one hour classroom lesson by Carolina Petrini, graduate in Foreign Languages and Literature, specialised in Organising Live Shows, with thesis entitled “L’hic et nunc dell’arte”: the exhibition as a live show;
- an afternoon on the trail of Lotto, “treasure hunt” finishing at the Art Gallery Jesi;
- the project is free for schools and students, the workshop is aimed at high school classes.
- the activities of the project will have to take place by 23 December 2012;
- bookings will have to be made by 15 November 2012;

Giromuseo is an innovative educational project for secondary schools the objective of which is to take into the schools, in a playful and engaging way, an in-depth knowledge of the concept of the museum, consequently, promoting a critical approach of students to museums.
The classes participating in the project can play and learn what is a museum with an "interactive" model of an ideal museum and with an attractive user manual. Giromuseo is divided into three phases:
The first phase GIROMUSEO OPENING an operator goes into the class showing the model (accompanied by different material), introducing the project and presenting the idea of the museum, with the aid of iconographic equipment.
In the second phase GIROMUSEO ACTIVITY with the help of the user manual teachers and students assemble their own "museum in a box", working on the concept of museum respectful of all museum standards set by international bodies. Students can customise their museum during the time in which the model remains in the class (15 days) and simulate "museum experiences," taking pictures of all stages.
The last phase GIROMUSEO DISCOVERY consists of a visit to the Pinacoteca di Jesi for the return of the model, the presentation of their own experience through the photographic material and the checking (with the sheets provided) of a real museum.
