Art Education Kit. A methodology for analysing art. Educational tools are designed to understand the use of colour, form, composition and rhythm, spatial perspective and the illusion of tactility.

Creando methodology 2003.

Each case contains educational tools which are used to accompany children on an itinerant tour through. The children are guided to use the educational tools and learn how to observe the art work; to examine it “up close” and “from afar”, to discover its “hidden meaning”, to measure the “game of illusions”, to connect “images and tactile sensations”. They are designed according to the laws of sensory perception: what does the work of art show me? What does the artist want me to see, in what order? How does the brain complete the information from the work?

Guides are trained to create a dialogue and allow observations to emerge. The methodology is set up as an active and participative approach. The training course for guides is compulsory. The first version was produced for Civita in 2003.
