93486 - Iconography and Iconology Workshop (A)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the workshop the student: - applies what is presented in the course within a simulated learning environment - reflects critically on the themes proposed in the groups.

Course contents

The main theme of the workshop is the use of digital as an environment/tool to approach children to art and artistic heritage.

During the workshop some digital storytelling paths in pre-school and primary school will be investigated. In particular, digital museums and the MOdE-Museo Officina dell'Educazione will be presented. Specifically students will design and set up digital exhibition itineraries and they will propose art and artistic heritage to children in a creative and original way.

As the Regulations those who feel they cannot be present at the first meeting are required to unsubscribe (before the list closes) in order to: i) leave the place free for other students; ii) have the opportunity to register for another workshop (simultaneous registration for more than one workshop is inhibited).

It is possible to enroll in only one workshop with compulsory attendance. Absences from the workshops lasting 8 hours (1 cfu) are not allowed.
