Centre for Contemporary Culture at Palazzo Strozzi
Palazzo Strozzi
Crowns and Badges
Workshop for primary school proposed during the exhibition Portraits and Power. People, Politics and Structures (1 October 1st, 2010 – January 23rd, 2011).
The activity is about creating objects and symbols drawn on coloured cardboard and cut out to represent the power of a fictional character.
During the workshop a video projection of images showing powerful figures in history (pharaohs, emperors, queens, tribal leaders, Generals) leads children to observe and reflect symbols that identify a powerful person and allow us to recognize them as such. Students are given a short text that portrays the fictional character of a bizarre and important character with the task of creating a range of accessories that represent his authority! … hats, jewelry and more. With these elements, drawn to scale and then cut out, students otherwise characterize the shapes of neutral figures drawn on the laboratory’s wall.
Activity duration: 1h 30’
