“Objects are like places: there is always a ghost present within them… There are ghosts in objects: once they were new, they were whole, they were used. In objects there are ghosts of their creators…of the people for whom they were created…finally of those who collected them”.
(from I fantasmi e le cose,(Ghosts and objects) Maria Clara Ruggieri Tricoli)
Museums are inhabited places: by objects, by works of art, people who visit them and personnel who work there. But also – and mainly- by the life that animate such objects, created them and enabled them to survive oblivion.
Aesthetic education and contact with art urge sensitivity, contribute to shaping the way one sees and thinks, create knowledge in the world and influence the way each person sees and interprets, knows the world. The museum, in this sense, becomes a gym of stimuli, ideas, creativity and the mediators who run the activities are similar to trainers who offer, stimulate and encourage new experiences and train the sensitivity of the participants.
The children, face to face with the works, can start talking with a strange “population” of characters, no longer silent, and go poking around the life of things, reminiscing about the past, trying to get a feeling of those who have designed, used and collected them over the centuries … in order to find one of “them”, something modern with which it is easier to read the present.
The proposed activities are designed for classes of nursery, primary and secondary school levels, but each activity can be calibrated according to the needs of the class and teachers.
Objectives
- Raising awareness of children and young people on the importance of conserving, enhancing and learn about artistic heritage
- Stimulating the ability of observation, understanding and imagination;
- Drawing children and teenagers to art by having fun;
- Enhancing the ability to create abstract concepts;
- Stimulating imagination through practical activities and expression in workshops;
- Discovering the creative potential of unusual materials.
LOOK AT THAT FACE!
The human face and body language express identity and can be the interpretative tool of the content of the work of art. Inside the museum we will focus on the faces that best represent emotions and meanings…will the young people be able to reproduce, paint, mime and recompose all these feelings?
In the workshop, using hands, faces will be made, with which we will produce the complete catalogue of museum faces!
THE BAG OF COLOURS
Let’s imagine that we are in Lorenzo Lotto’s workshop, among thousands of coloured pigments, palettes, brushes, bottles of solvents, frames, ancient secret recipes and tools with strange-sounding names. The painter will lead us to the discovery of the ingredients and the tools used to compose the real secret recipes. We will thoroughly analyse the variety of its colours, the feelings they transmit and techniques used for the construction of works of art.
The workshop will conclude with the preparation of some colours and our hands will become the brushes with which we will experience the performance techniques of an original work of art.
ART IN A FRAME
This workshop originates from the idea of proposing an experience dedicated to the perception of works of art, focusing on an often overlooked and "not seen" element: the frame.
The frame is an open window through which to view the painting. How does the perception of the work change by changing the frames? What are the frames of the masterpieces of Lorenzo Lotto like? And what would happen if we tried to replace them with baroque or Futurist frames? Why are they often absent in contemporary art? The children observe, experience, create, mess up... in the frame of the museum!

WHAT SHALL I WEAR TODAY?
Entering the Museum means sinking into a magical atmosphere, in a timeless past that envelops and excites. In order not to get lost among the thousands of characters who populate the halls we follow the thread of the relationship between clothes and the body. From the beginning clothes have had the dual function of covering nakedness and protecting the body. Moral obligation, as well as a practical one, we will compare the past and present continuously by observing the paintings of saints, wrapped in their robes, knights, in their armour and Madonnas dressed as elegantly as queens. From the careful observation of the characteristics of the garment and accessories worn by the characters we will obtain the views expressed by them on the body. In the workshop we will rebuild, with thousands of materials, clothing or accessories for our models to wear.

A DAY WITH THE PICENI
Between the 9th and 10th centuries a new population of warriors, traders and farmers came to live in the hills of Recanati, the Piceni. But who were they? How did they spend their days? And above all, why did they come to live in Recanati? By observing the finds kept in the Recanati Museum we will reconstruct a typical day of a Piceni family and we will recreate some of the objects seen in the museum by using different materials.
EVERYBODY ON SET!
Who doesn’t know the story of the tragic love of Romeo and Juliet? Recanati is the birth town of the famous tenor Beniamino Gigli who interpreted the role of Romeo in various plays with different sets and costumes. Inside the beautiful Persiani Theatre you can see the various costumes worn by the tenor during his long career and in particular the ones worn to interpret the unlucky lover. After a short introduction to the opera and the most famous characters that take part in it, the main characters of the plays are made, by using different materials.
"MESSED UP" WORKS
A work of art can be read like a book, the important thing is to know its alphabet and look very carefully! Each workshop examines some elements of the work, in order to pinpoint, recognise and discover the importance of the iconography and the symbols used by the artists.
At the end the kids are given a "messed up work", which will have to be rearranged or it can be used as a starting point for an original picture.
