In this workshop the children will use a simplified map (provided by ARTandSEEK ) as the basis for a two phases project : the children will firstly enjoy taking a close look at archeological buildings, allocating them on their map and connecting  geometric shapes visible at each of the 8 spots;

Our resolution for 2021
is to donate art to children who are not as lucky as most of our members are,
children who have never seen a brush and never felt the happiness that art can give.
If you like the idea and you would like to donate to the
Project "ART for ALL KIDS"
we will be very grateful!
With any donation over 10€ you will get
the 2021 annual membership to ARTandSEEK for free 
​or a 15% discount on the next event you join if you are already a member .

Dialogues between Old and New 
A series of in person events to help children understand how classical and modern art are connected through language and symbols and how past and present interact

'New in Old'
Palazzo Massimo
Largo di Villa Peretti, 2 
Date coming soon

'Old in New'
Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna
Viale delle Belle Arti, 131

Date coming soon

The two programmes are linked but it's not mandatory to join both 
​

 In English
for Children 5 to 13


At Palazzo Massimo we will explore ancient artifacts and the stories they represent. Linking myths and legends we will see how these very old pieces have inspired contemporary artists who used the same iconography but in a modern key.
On our second visit to the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, we will analyse contemporary art in connection to ancient pieces seen at Palazzo Massimo.
ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM During the 3 lessons of this course we will learn about the artists who in the 1940s , in New York, approached art in a new different way, called later Abstract Expressionism. They changed the way we now see abstract painting, sculpture and collage. We are going to be inspired by Hans Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Louise Nevelson and many others to create our own abstract art works.

TELLING STORIES THROUGH ART Gli artisti contemporanei usano il mezzo artistico non solo per esprimere i propri sentimenti ed emozioni ma, spesso, anche per raccontare storie che riguardano se stessi o il mondo che li circonda. Durante le 3 lezioni di questo corso parleremo di materiali e tecniche che artisti quali Faith Ringgold, Maria Lai, Louise Bourgeois e Alberto Giacometti hanno usato per comunicare sentimenti e per far riflettere su argomenti a loro cari.

Our native-speaker educators will engage the children in discussions and activities through gallery explorations, art activities and games. 
Campers will explore works of art visiting 3/4 different museums each week and learning about new approaches and art techniques. Moreover they are going to
 spend 2/3 hrs every day on art activities in the park in order to develop a personal artistic style through experimenting with a variety of mediums including painting and collage.
During the entire week the children will be invited to express their ideas and emotions in English.

Join us for an exciting live drawing course consisting of 3 sessions of 2 hours each, during which the children will go to different art museums of Rome to draw on site in order to learn basic techniques for graphite drawing and coloured pencils. We will visit the permanent collections and
sit down in the museum in front of an artwork or a piece of architecture: during each session the children are shown several ways to draw, with exercises to enhance drawing
skills and to encourage critical thinking, imagination, creativity and life long connections with art. You can join one or more sessions.
Info
Join us to visit this wonderful exhibition showing art about women. As women have been consistently portrayed between the 19th and 20th centuries, we will observe art works made in contrasting art styles to understand how the portrayal of women has changed, going from depicting an icon, completely detached from reality, to a real and contemporary individual with her emotions and worries. During the visit the children will be engaged in discussion and drawing activities that will help them to portray their own idea of woman and create their artwork inspired by that.
