What's on Your Head?

Upper secondary schools

A thematic itinerary with a particular cross-cultural slant: the history of art reread through clothing and specifically across women's and men's headgear; a journey through art and multiculturalism to see how this last is not only a phenomenon of our times but, particularly in Venice, a deep-rooted and characteristic aspect of the city itself, dynamic and always receptive to fashions, mentalities, ideas, art and culture from outside.

The HISTORY OF COLOR

Lower and upper secondary schools

Color, the defining feature of Venetian art, is observed and interpreted not as a simple constituent element but as a tool to reconstruct the history of color itself from a symbolic, technical, commercial and economic point of view. By mixing all this information, one gets to read the works through one more critical tool, understanding the evolution of the painting style, the manners and techniques of the different workshops, investigating geographical, economic and religious scenarios.

THE ARTWORKS TELL

Lower and upper secondary schools

We turn students into art critics by tackling with them a reading of the artwork through compositional and formal analysis, to come to understand together the function of the image in different historical periods. In a particular period of history, we take note of various topics that come up repeatedly. By encouraging students to consider the role of their bodies and emotions, we gain insight into the reasons behind these recurring themes, while also paying attention to the details.
