  • 2.1. art education

    - the final aim is the welfare of the children and youngsters, who have great problems in nowadays society and give them instruments to be able to manage their future.
    - one instrument is art, doing something with their hands and brains, it helps them formulate the surrounding world
    - these pilot courses for teachers helps them in their work and give them professional tools to educate art with a positive result

    The project ART ENLARGES THE AREA will start a permanent art education center - based on the great expertise build up in the huge collection of children’s art from the AllaprimA Foundation - with practical and theoretical programs for (art) teachers in the field of art education.

    The general aim of expressive development is to teach children to observe and experience in a more conscious way.
    Children learn to convert observation and experience into two- and three-dimensional images.
    They become aware of what they see, hear, feel and experience.
    They learn to be open to coincidences, to changes and more than one solution to a problem.
    This fundamental attitude can developed within the field of expressive development.
    Art is one of the basic human qualities.
    In the first years of a child's life, the view on reality is in an artistic way.
    Art is the open mind to the phenomena of the (unknown) reality.
    Children are able to see things in a new way, because they do not have any notice of the rules adults are using.

    a. enlarges welfare of children and youngsters
    b. retains and build up expertise in the field of art education
    c. develop good art education programs for teachers
    d. starts permanent training of (art) teachers
