In this workshop the children will use a simplified map, provided by ARTandSEEK, as the basis for a two phases project : firstly they will enjoy taking a close look at archeological buildings, allocating them on their map and connecting geometric shapes visible at each of the eight location;
they will then turn their map into a work of art after the style of the Roman artist Paola Gandolfi

Ancient Egyptian Explorers
in Villa Torlonia
Sunday 8th May 2022
We started to dive into the world of the Ancient Egyptians through the observation of the obelisk and hieroglyphics at the entrance of Villa Torlonia. The children became ancient Egyptian explorers and used symbols, shapes and creativity to travel through time. It was the perfect workshop for elementary school children who learnt, or reinforced their knowledge, about one of the most interesting old civilisations during this hands-on event.

Street Art Tour
Humans and Nature
Ostiense neighbourhood
Sunday 10th October 2021
We looked at 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.

Real and Mythological Creatures
in Villa Borghese
Sunday 16th May 2021
Did superheroes exist in ancient times? In the Villa Borghese park there are some sculptures which give us a few hints. We observed these sculptures, draw them, and invent our own special creatures taking inspiration from art and history.

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!

We have seen bright colours and unexpected combinations of the natural and urban landscape coming together in the form of some impressive art!
