Attention to the territory and to the schools: this has always been the objective of the National Gallery, which hosts students from various institutes from the beginning of October until the end of January and allows them to participate in art workshops agreed with the teachers. “This year already with the exhibition by Stefano Arienti – comments Rita Canarezza, cultural operator of the National Gallery – we involved the schools. Today there are the design students, with whom we are doing a study workshop on drawing”.
“Students in this workshop focus on sketching, which is drawing sketches,” he explains Olga Barmina, teacher of the Unirsm drawing laboratory -. We invited a visiting professor, Elia Venturiniwhich does a specific job on the scale drawing“. Design students are called to study the environment of the art gallery and make it their own, reproducing it in drawings freehand in their notebooks. “They first absorb information – he adds Elia Venturini, designer -, creating archives of visual material in their notebooks, then there will be a brainstorming where we will create a storytelling on what they saw, and then build it on a larger scale”.
After the National Gallery, the workshop continues in the old Cisterns of Palazzo Pubblico and in the former Il Montale railway tunnel, following the logical thread of Stefano Arienti’s “Altana” exhibition, which develops in the three spaces.
