DA#36 – Animate Yourselves!

How do we create moving frames (in cinema and animated movies)?

Have you ever thought about how a movie is made? It’s very simple actually, it’s just still images, one after another, played back very fast (25 images per second). Even before filming, people already invented ways to create moving pictures. In this atelier, you will discover one way to create mini-animation and discover the art of stop-motion.

The activity is thought to be performed in quarantine. It will encourage physical activity at home and give ideas to parents on how to make their pre-school kids move more. It also encourages kids to use tablets and smartphones in a creative way. It gives knowledge about cinema and animated movies.

DA#32 – The Art of Geometry

Can geometry be introduced as a form of expression?

Digit is a character who introduces children to geometric shapes that become the basic elements for a photo safari at home and the composition of fluorescent drawings and landscapes. At home, using the app Oh! created by designers Louis Rigaud and Anouck Boisrobert, children continue the creative experience by using the geometric shapes to populate a cityscape of animals, characters and other interactive elements.  Oh! will be used again at school to create a collective landscape.

DA#27 – Nature’s Storytelling

How many stories can we find in the enlarged and projected image of nature?

The projection of enlarged nature becomes the backdrop for games and the invention of fantastic stories…..After collecting natural materials in their surroundings and collecting them in a box, that will be the transitional object that will enable children to continue experimentations started at school to be continued at home and vice versa, children will discover new properties of these materials through their observation with a digital microscope. Attaching the microscope to the projector, the enlargements give rise to imaginative and evocative environments, with which the children can play, interact and develop a character that will be brought home for the development of a common chain story.

DA#25 – Little Stick

Can the use of the digital and its declination in various expressive modalities develop competencies in the reading and translating of real and fantastic worlds?

Inspired by the book “Stick Man” by J. Donaldson and A. Scheffler, children invent and create small photographic stories, short films and plays inspired by their experiences and reflections during excursions with Little Stick, a character created by the children using wooden sticks collected in nature. Little Stick will follow the children on family and school excursions and help them find polluted places and reflect on their environment.

DA#23 – Audio Experimentation with Watermusic

Is it possible to make your own version of Händel’s water music with water sounds?

Audio puzzles and sound experimentations are suitable for children from the age of 3 and a lot of fun. First, children can search for random sounds in the environment and record them with a simple recording app. While listening, the children can guess together what they hear. At home, parents and children look for special water sounds, create and record them. In kindergarten, children can talk about their experiences with water sounds and listen to Händel’s original “water music”. Inspired by classical music, children can mix live water sounds in the kindergarten with the recording of the classical music. In the end they create their own version of Händel’s masterpiece.

DA#20 – Creative Land Art

Does nature influence our emotions?

Yes! 

We just have to look for the sounds that involve us in our daily routine and associate them at what each one feels.

In the kindergarten or at home with the families: we listen to the sound that surrounds us and we record the ones that awaken us some emotions. We observe and collect nature elements to build land art. The pictures taken from the land art will be shared in the ClassDojo app.

DA#19 – A Magical Forest

How can we create a (magical) forest inside the classroom?

In this atelier the forest as a natural environment is explored and its magically interpreted.  First children are accompanied to an exploration in nature to observe and explore a forest, a park, a garden.  Trees, leaves, branches, gathering fruit, leaves or pine cones will ignite curiosity, and become the starting point for a creative experience at home with the family. At school,  children create a magical forest through a collaborative immersive set-up. The forest is composed of natural elements, children’s drawings that become luminescent in the dark, projections and a personalized forest soundtrack that they create with a composition app.

DA#16 – Creative Paint Brushes

Can the leaves or needles of a tree become a paint brush?

How does a paint brush work? Can a paint brush be made using natural materials? In this atelier children try to find the answers to these questions by exploring natural environments and doing creative experiments both in the classroom and at home with their families.  The materials will be transformed by the children into special craft brushes with which they will enjoy painting canvases of various shapes and colours either in Kindergarten as well as at home.  At the end of the atelier, the children collaborate on the creation of an installation containing all their works and special QrCodes.

DA#15 – Like a Tree

What if I change like a tree?

In this atelier children experience how trees are all different and how they change according to the seasons. Then they discover that they too, like trees, are all different, even though they have many things in common. Each child follows a tree near home and observes it changing over the course of the seasons, the photos of the trees are transformed into silhouettes to be decorated as desired. A main colour palette will be extracted and used by the children to create beautiful self-portraits, where the colours of the trees become the colours of their face, creating a deep connection between the child and the tree.
