Being inspired by a piece of contemporary art to write a story – this is the creative process the artist and storyteller Luisa Bevilacqua invites you to explore as part of the ‘Mudam, one collection, lots of stories!’ project.

  • Communicating and discussing with other participants
  • Demonstrating a certain creativity and open-mindedness

  • Developing approaches to learning based around a work of art or an artist

Content
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the museum’s collection, Mudam invites you to discover the artworks in its collection in a different way – by hearing their stories told differently. Artist and storyteller Luisa Bevilacqua will take you into a world of storytelling, encouraging primary school teachers to interpret artworks in a sensitive yet entertaining way and helping them to see these works in a new light. This course seeks to familiarise participants with the work of the artists in the exhibition. It also aims to forge links between schools and the museum by encouraging teachers to discuss and create, working with an artist who is an expert in the field of storytelling. It will facilitate an understanding of the work artists do, based on a light-hearted and creative approach appropriate to the world of children.

Methodological approach
The course focuses on a range of object-based approaches to visual research and learning, including:

  • learning to see, observe and create
  • reading, interpreting and analysing images and using these skills to teach in a sensitive yet entertaining way
  • individual creation with an emphasis on experimentation and discussion
  • developing and designing individual and creative approaches to teaching.
