Street Art Tour
Signs and symbols

Quadraro area
Sunday 18th October 2020
The neighbourhood of Quadraro is home to a huge range of murals by artists from all over the world, like Malo Farfan, Veks Van Hillik and Lucamaleonte who, over the years, have turned the district into a colourful outdoor art gallery. On our open-air visit, the children looked at how these mural makers have been inspired by history, politics and pop culture to make connections with past and present, life and death, legend and reality. We searched for signs and symbols in the art on our way and we stopped to draw on site.

'Back to Nature'
Villa Borghese
Saturday 10th October 2020
What an exciting tour discovering the new installations of contemporary art at Villa Borghese!
During our visit to this open air exhibition we explored how nature inspires contemporary artists in different ways. Nature is at the root of mathematical , social and architectural  expressions as in the works of great Italian artists like Mario Merz and Edoardo Tresoldi, while takes very forms in the site specific works of groups like "Academia Aracne". The kids enjoyed being inspired by bomb yarnings and igloos!

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!

express their emotions. They draw and use colour inspired by the artist analysed and are engaged in discussions and fun activities throughout the entire visit .

Street Art in Ostiense
Sunday 6th October 2019
We visited striking murals from the year 2010 up to 2018, by different artists, seeing how each has been inspired by both the natural world and the man-made one, and how the artists are using street art to help address and draw attention to social and natural issues.
We have seen bright colours and unexpected combinations of the natural and urban landscape coming together in the form of some impressive art!
