A BRIEF PRESENTATION

Why we chose Sean Scully? We chose Scully because we liked his temporary exhibition in the National Gallery of Ireland and we thought that his abstract art might be a good point to start exploring with children different concepts in different ways: shapes, colours, patterns, balance, number and measures.Scully art, as you now, was inspired by the dry stone walls of the Aran Islands. The presence of these kind of walls, in Menorca as in Italy too, motivated us to choose the work of this artist to introduce an intercultural project.Who is Scully? Starting from the presentation of the artist, the trail is designed to develop in seven different sessions. Each one of them is connected with an aspect of his paintings.

The project is interdisciplinary. The seven session altogether offer children activities concerning all areas of child development: language area, graphic pictorial area, motory and sound, music and dance activities, experiences in order to count and measure.The project will give children the chance to learn the new language as they can connect the new vocabulary with their senses, visually, aurally and physically.We are teaching in a pre-primary school, then we thought of proposals for 4/5 year old children.But all sessions are like large containers: each of them contains proposals which can be extended, or made more complex, depending on the age of the children and the school level. You can expand the experiences, the information on the work of Scully, or the vocabulary too. Well show you only just a few examples.
