In motion
Little English School, Vicenza
As a first step children analysed the “tricks” to represent movement used by Italian Futurists (like Giacomo Balla, Gino Severini and Umberto Boccioni).
Moving cars
Moving trees
We then looked at real movement in art work, like Calder’s mobiles. First children experienced balancing, working in pairs in a special laboratory.
Later they
elaborated their
experience
projecting and
creating their
personal mobile.
After this, they had the chance to experiment collective class work: always following Calder’s example, children created a big fish.
