UN’ARTE ANTICA ALLA PORTATA DI TUTTI I BAMBINI

I nostri Figli sono OPERE D'ARTE

Al Maxxi di Roma grande folla di amore per i ragazzi “neuroatipici”. La grande impresa di Gianluca Nicoletti per la giornata mondiale della consapevolezza sull’autismo: “I Nostri Figli Sono Opere d’Arte”. Giovedí 2 aprile 2015 al MAXXI di Roma non si è celebrata una semplice commemorazione per la Giornata Internazionale sull’Autismo come accadeva un po’ ovunque, ma forse si è finalmente concretizzato il tanto auspicato sinergico e costruttivo approccio al mondo delle diversità. Non era una giornata di protesta dunque, ma una Festa. Non si sono viste immagini tristi per commuoverci ma piuttosto si è voluto mettere in evidenza i talenti, facendo di questi ragazzi speciali delle vere e proprie opere d’Arte.

This work has been structured to be divided in two parts: the first section is focused on the epistemological basis with many references at theories and specific studies, instead, the second one, that is the real core of the elaborate, refers to a projectual proposal that embrace a new way to experience and perceive the children’s art museum. Before the work on the project has begun a previous analysis on the concept of “children’s art” has been made. The main feature of this concept has been enucleated following an aesthetical and a psychological approach. To consider children as artist is furthermore necessary for building new didactical paths intended to enhance children’s products. The idea for this museum was born from the willing to realize a place in which children can recognize themselves and their own art. A very special environment that allow them to feel conscious about their creative and artistic power, to feel comfortable with their culture and works. A place that might become a bridge between the territory, the scholastic institution and the museum. The school and the territory, at this point, are ready to configure as a network system that is capable to give new life to artistic education and children’s art. Every actor of this system has been taken into exam to show its connection with children’s art and art’s education. At the end of this analysis it has been definitively shown how a children’s museum like this is supposed to be and act with this aims in mind.

I bambini fanno di tutto per esporsi a diverse esperienze al contrario di noi. Gli adulti dicono sempre che proteggono i loro bambini quando in realtà stanno solo proteggendo loro stessi. E poi non si possono proteggere i bambini. Loro sanno tutto. Maurice Sendak 3.3.2 L'impaginazione 3.4 L'identità Conclusioni Ringraziamenti Bibliografia 84 86 86 88 93 95 96 98 98 101 105 107 109

A hitherto unpublished painting of a Woman Potting a Sapling, recently acquired by the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia, is here attributed to the Danish artist Eberhard Keilhau (1624-1687), better known in Italy as Monsù Bernardo. In addition to discussing the style of the canvas in order to establish its likely date in the mid-1650s, the author focuses on its iconography, identifying a pendant image in another work already ascribed to Monsù Bernardo, a Woman Holding a Sapling.

A reflection on the importance and the need to promote artistic expriencia in childhood.

The monogram in Late Antiquity. Since the beginning of the IV century AD the monogram - as a symbol of the identity of a religious expression -appears as a fundamental component in the evolution of the forms of communication in a multicultural society. The great diffusion of Mithraism between the III and IV centuries AD is witnessed by the many places of worship, but also by the rich epigraphic and sculptural materials found so far. In the case of Ostia, the city with the highest number of mithraea in an urban context, the widespread presence of Mithraic signs and symbols can be recognized even outside the places specifically dedicated to the rites of this religious expression. The case studies presented here are investigated in relation to those known in other religious contexts, particularly in Christian ones.
