Training Workshop for Teachers and Cultural Educators: Traces in Nature and Play Inspired by the Work of Hervé Tullet and Bruno Munari
Training with Alessandra Falconi offers an immersive experience designed to explore the intersection of traditional and digital expressive languages across four core themes: the body and visual perception, collective mark-making inspired by Hervé Tullet, nature and playground design, and cosmic exploration.
Description
The program begins with a floor-based graphic activity focused on the theme of eyes. It continues with a collaborative ‘graphic circle’ where participants create collective portraits, which are then reinterpreted using tape, animated via stop-motion, and integrated with the web app developed by Zaffiria (“blablabla”).
A second session is dedicated to collaborative graphic play, exploring insights and working methods inspired by Hervé Tullet as introduced at the Scuola delle nuvole.
A third session focuses on nature: starting from graphics inspired by the garden, participants design a playground. Moving onto transparent PVC, they create a fantastical botany, organize a parade, and explore Zaffiria’s web app “Andar per boschi” (“Wandering the Woods”).
The fourth session explores the universe and constellations, using visual-graphic creation to embark on a journey through space. All activities have been successfully tested with children aged 4 to 13, bridging analog and digital tools.
