Didactic activities
Paesaggio dell’anima – Paesaggio della vita
Multi-discipline teaching courses organized by
the Galleries of Palazzo Zevallos are specifically for students and
teachers at elementary, middle and high schools and have been
adapted to suit the age and preparation of the students.
The teaching workshop offers analysis of the masterpieces in the
collection, in particular Caravaggio's Martyrdom of Saint Ursula,
leading to discovery of the codes of visual language. The starting
point for this program is conception of the work as a system of
signs. While artistic expression cannot be fully explained because
of the emotional charge it transmits, it is however possible to
attempt to discover how its language works and the efficient
mechanisms of communication.
Capturing the relationships between the lines, shapes and colours
which contribute to the meaning of a painting provides the
instruments for interpreting any work of art in its fundamental
patterns.
Kandinsky used to refer to: “the hidden soul in all things. All that
is hidden lays at the base of the work of art”.
This didactic project, structured around a methodological
model devised by Prof. Donata Ariot for Intesa Sanpaolo
museums, is a free initiative for schools in Campania. It
provides a new opportunity for cultural and emotional growth
of children thanks to competent instructors guided by Dott.
Diego Esposito.
