Art is perception

Colour harmony

EXPERIENCE FOR: KINDERGARTENS
SUBJECTS: ART APPRECIATION, SCIENCE

In any art work, colour is the element that most effectively communicates feelings and sensations. The colours dialogue with each other and with those who observe them through harmonious or contrasting combinations. Knowing how to converse with colours also means arousing different perceptions in those who observe them; the different sensations everyone perceives in front of an artwork depend on this. We learn to experiment this dialogue thanks to an observation of the colours in the museum works and thanks to different didactic materials which are useful for comparing personal impressions within the group .

Art for all five senses

EXPERIENCE FOR: PRIMARY SCHOOLS AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS
SUBJECTS: ART APPRECIATION, SCIENCE

An invitation to discover and to experience the relations that exist between what our senses perceive and what we know about an artwork. Each work is made of signs, shapes, spaces, colours and a visual structure that can be interrelated, by widening our sensorial universe, to comprise tactile, auditory and olfactory sensations. In a group, in front of the frescoes of Benozzo Gozzoli, we experiment and investigate the relationships between form, sign, sound and colour in a synaesthetic manner.
