Celebrating Families
Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna

Sunday 19th March 2023

On 19th of March Italian people are celebrating Father's day while British people celebrate Mother's day, so we explored family as a theme. We asked ourselves "Can we find family in ART "? We searched for different types of families in art and became the inventors and illustrators of our own discoveries, inspired by Lucio Fontana, Piet Mondrian and many other great artists. 

Van Gogh
Palazzo Bonaparte

Wednesday 8th March 2023

We went to learn about the iconic artist admiring many of his works, analysing his original brushstrokes and  looking at his use of colour. The children learned Van Gogh’s innovative language discussing his life, his letters and his approach to portraits and self-portraits. They engaged in simple activities and created their own pieces of art inspired by the great personality of one of the most famous artist in the world.

Drawing at the Museum
 Centrale Montemartini
Saturday 4th March 2023

We went to a beautiful museum where ancient art is displayed in an industrial environment. It was the perfect location for the children to sit down and sketch, while learning about pencil drawing, shading and other art techniques.

Thinking Outside the Box

​La Galleria Nazionale
Sunday 26th February 2023

We wondered what it means to "think outside the box" by exploring some of the most iconic works of artists such as Jackson Pollock, Lucio Fontana and Marcel Duchamp. The children analysed in what way these works were revolutionary, and engaged in some fun activities that encouraged them to think creatively and be original, inspired by the artists studied.

Etruscans 
Museo Nazionale Etrusco
Sunday 12th February 2023

We studied vases, statues and pots from the Etruscan era, where we discovered the secrets of the fascinating people who lived in Italy thousands of years before us. The children were then granted freedom in drawing their own mythological creatures, vases, and statues.  

Colours and Textures
in the animal world

Museo Civico di Zoologia
Sunday 18th December 2022

We observed fluff, feathers and fur looking for differences and analogies in what nature created on the mantel of male and female species in birds, mammals and even insects. The children touched taxidermied animals and were engaged in drawing to create some amazing patterns of their own.

Vincent Van Gogh

Palazzo Bonaparte
19th and 20th November 2022

We learnt about the iconic artist admiring many of his works, analysing his original brushstrokes and  looking at his use of colour. The children observed Van Gogh’s innovative language discussing his life, his letters and his approach to portraits and self-portraits. They were engaged in simple activities of drawing to create their own piece of art inspired by the great personality of one of the most famous artist in the world.

Ancient Greece
Musei Capitolini
Saturday 22nd October 2022
​The children learned how, in Ancient Greece, during the period referred to as "classical" civilisation, subjects like philosophy, mathematics, astronomy and medicine became part of the common discourse in society.
Through the observation of several art works it became clear why the world over has been copying the ancient Greeks for ever and a day.
The children had the opportunity to conjure up their own interpretations of classical works and make them theirs through drawing activities.

Colour and Emotions
La Galleria Nazionale 
Sunday 9th October 2022

During one of our most successful programmes the children explored artworks by Van Gogh, Kandinsky , Monet and other great artists to understand how they used colour, patterns, shapes and light to express their emotions. They also drew and used colour inspired by the artist analysed and were engaged in discussions and fun activities throughout the entire visit .​

Gustav Klimt
Museo di Roma, Palazzo Braschi
Sunday 27th March 2022
We learnt about the Viennese artist admiring some of his iconic paintings in comparison with his contemporary Italian artists such as Felice Casorati and Arturo Noci. The children enjoyed Klimt’s innovative language discussing the artist’s use of colours and decorative motifs, his approach to portraits and his relationship with Italy. They were engaged in simple activities of drawing to create their own piece of art inspired by the artwork they had analysed.

Alberto Biasi
Museo dell'Ara Pacis
​
Sunday 13th February 2022

We went to visit an exhibition full of light, colour and illusion. The children loved how the amazing Italian artist plays with shapes and spaces to create dynamic artwork that tricks the eye! After exploring Biasi's work, we had time for a workshop to create some artistic illusions of our own, ​inspired by the artist

Telling Stories through Art​
GALLERIA NAZIONALE D’ARTE MODERNA
Sunday 12th December 2021

We explored how artists like Leoncillo, Alberto Burri and Giuseppe Penone, tell the stories of themselves and their community through the use of unusual art materials.
We reflected on textures, on the meaning we give to objects, and on how emotions are linked to our senses. During the visit we experimented with fun activities linked to the theme and created our own ‘visual stories’.

Anthropomorphic art 
Museo Civico di Zoologia
Sunday 14th November 2021
​

How many of your children's favourite cartoons, stories, books and films feature walking and talking animals?
Could the children guess the real animals that inspired the characters and spot them in the museum?

The trip to the Museum of zoology let us explore the animal kingdom and learn about anthropomorphism. We investigated the real life inspiration behind famous animal characters and engaged in drawing to create some amazing characters of our own.

Art and Nature
Museo Bilotti and Villa Borghese 
 
Sunday 19th September 2021
Villa Borghese is home to a great contemporary art exhibition with many artists contributing to the collection .
Some great work by Giosetta Fioroni, Alberto Vannetti and Velasco Vitali was waiting for the children to explore, discuss and analyse at Museo Bilotti. We then moved to the park and, as usual, the children had a go at making their own artwork inspired by what they had seen.

Sunday ​15th December 2019
​
How incredible was the sculptor Medardo Rosso for his time? We found out how many methods he used to sculpt, why he was considered an Impressionist sculptor and how he also liked to copy ancient models.  The children were engaged in discussions and fun activities inspired by Medardo.

Maria Lai:
tenendo per mano il sole

at MAXXI
Sunday 22nd September 2019
​Saturday 11th January 2020

The children had the chance  to understand the world of Maria Lai, a great Italian artist who explored story telling through fabric and threads. They look at beautiful artworks inspired by tradition and modernity. During the visit they were drawing and using threads for activities inspired by the artist and were engaged in discussions on how we can use different materials to tell a story. It was a wonderful morning! 

PORTRAITS and IDENTITY

Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna
Sunday 24th November 2019
We explored how different artists as Van Gogh, Klimt, Modigliani and Pistoletto, approached the theme of portraits and how, through their artwork, they related to the concept of identity.  The children were engaged in discussions and hands-on activities throughout the entire visit.
