Details:

• When: Thursday, September 15th
• Where: Venezia, Giardini
• What: Biennale workshop
• Unit of Inquiry How we Express Ourselves: students will visit the Biennale as a way to see how arts can express ideas and change perceptions. As they view the art they will have the opportunity to consider their own emotions, ideas and beliefs. Artist Celia Vásquez Yui belongs to the Shipibo, an Indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon. For the Shipibo, there is a reciprocal relationship with works of art: looking at art also means allowing the artwork, in some way, to look back at you. This belief is rooted in the power of kené, an ancient geometric art form and spiritual practice in which intricate geometric patterns are carved and painted onto a variety of surfaces. These designs are based on lines, spirals, and labyrinth-like paths that intertwine in ways that appear highly complex, yet remain carefully balanced and symmetrical. They are believed to possess optical qualities capable of bringing about subtle transformations in the viewer, functioning as a form of “drawing as medicine.” Inspired by the tradition of kené, this workshop invites children to explore the printmaking technique of woodcut (xylography) to create their own intricate geometric patterns and design their own spirit animals.

• When: Friday, December 12th
• Where: Venezia, La Fenice (Sale Apollinee)
• What: “Il ritorno degli aiutanti di Babbo Natale” workshop
• Unit of Inquiry How we oxpress ourselves and Where we are in place and time: during the ongoing unit of inquiry, the children will investigate the concept of Imagination and how it helps us to create and communicate. In collaboration with the Music department, the children will explore how our imagination helps us to extend our ability to think, create, communicate, and solve problems. The children will watch “Il ritorno degli aiutanti di Babbo Natale” at the historical theatre of La Fenice (Sale Apollinee). This is an ‘interactive’ workshop-show during which the students, through a geographical journey from North to South Europe, will have to overcome a series of the most varied ‘magical’ tests: riddles, pranks, games, all naturally focused on the various aspects of music and dance such as rhythm and melody. They will gain insights into more different ways of solving problems and retelling stories.
