Piloting with the primary school - Alivola - Step 10 - March 2, 2013 - Photo and Video

 

In these pictures the visit of the Clohe students of the 3rd grade of Passo Corese primary school to the Modern Automata Museum. The students have come accompanied by parents, siblings and teachers. The look of the students were attentive to details and to the solutions found by the artists in the creation of automata. The difference with the students who visit the museum without having participated in a course of construction of automata is remarkable: in the latter case the look is attentive but in a generic way, with a motivation mostly playful. While in the other case the look is attentive and interested in solving a real problem: the eyes look for its own specific references, both in the literary field (how to tell a story in a turn of the handle?) and artistic (which are the more expressive materials, decorations, sets ?) and mechanical (how to create a certain movement, a certain effect?)
