Art Exhibition - Italy

ART EXHIBITION ‘ISTITUTO COMPRENSIVO CARPI 2’

In our Istituto three kind of schools are present: Nursery school, Primary school, Secondary school. The Art Exhibition has been a chance for each school to work with children and students on their rights and responsibilities producing in the end art or photo works.

At the opening our principal, Mr Attilio Desiderio pointed out the importance of the Partnership and the cooperation between the different grades of our School while prof. Storchi explained aims and activities of the project.

Nursery School “Andersen”

The activity took place in the group of children aged 5, the oldest ones, where a conversation was held in preparation of the Childreen’s Rights World Day on 20th November.

After thta conversation which was really interesting children prepared a large poster with a world map at the centre and each child drew himself/herself with open arms all around in order to build a circle with his/her mates.

Then, in small groups, they filled the world map at the centre with different techniques and material.

Finally the groups mimed what they thought most important for a child to grow peaceful and happy, and some photos were taken and put between the world map and the children circle.

Primary School “G. Rodari”

We needed 10 periods to prepare, start, realize our activity on children’s rights and photo on them.

In class we did a ‘circle time’ activity on the rights to check what they knew about the topic and their interests. After that we drew a concept map on the rights

On November 20th we read the Convention on Children’s Rights, analysed its different categories and elicited pupils on the meaning they have for them, especially the ones present in their daily life in order to be aware of them.

In December Mr. Storchi, English teacher and some students from secondary School came to show us a video on Children’s Rights.

Then pupils found out pictures on magazines and newspapers illustrating the fundamental rights; with them they produced some posters with news and pictures.

After these activities some parents came to class for a lesson on photography.

In our 6th period we did a pair work with a different right for each couple of pupils in order to get an idea about a photo on that same right. After this all class discussed the ideas and gave suggestions to get to the final project on photos.

In the last three periods some parents came to class to help children to realize photos in small groups then we did a pair work on ‘creative writing’ to write poems related to the rights.

Here are some of the photos and some of the poems translated into English taken and written by class 4B with help of parents and teacher Mrs Miriam Dazzi.

The workshop will continue with Mr Storchi’s participation in class during second term to work on rights and English in order to make pupils be more confident with this language.

Scuola Secondaria di 1° grado “Guido Fassi”

Our classes at Scuola Secondaria (Middle School) worked both with English and Italian teachers, analyzing the Convention on Children’s Rights, the Art teachers all together worked as well in different ways but the results have certainly been good.

Here we attach some of the main works students of different classes did on rights.

Some classe with teacher Mrs Ferrara worked on a long large strip on different rights and the result was this.

A long wall half covered with a huge strip on children’s right.

Other classes worked in a more traditional way with Mrs Gabriella Bonarrigo. Students produced lots of works but here we attach only the nicest ones for each right.
