    and others

    It is possible to make and add objects to spaces in the LABYRINTH.

    This can be done by individual children or by a group.

     

    MARC WALTER:
    I love working with children. In fact, with all people. But children especially have the ability to create with that instinct that we tend to put aside as we grow up because of all the rules that we add to our brain.

    The creative process is one of the best tool I know to teach not only about art, or science or mathematics or language, but specifically about many transversal skills that humans and citizens need to acquire to make a better society.

    Listening to your surroundings is at the core of any learning process, and it is the essence of the creative process. By surroundings, I mean the objects and the living bodies of course, but also the intangible like the light, the sounds and the smells, and all emotions attached to them. By listening, I mean hearing, but also opening your eyes and noses and skin and heart.

    And when you create as a group, they are all the other skills. Sharing, criticizing, analyzing, discussing, accepting differences, cooperating, thriving for the same goal.

    The creative process is therefore wonderful to teach a curriculum, an educational program, because it helps reveal our needs as an individual, as a group, as a society.

    When I kneeled in front of the 10 years-old this past week, I had the impression to go through a ritual of passage. Sharing values, getting to realize what we just did, and how it can impact us, them and me. Very fulfilling.

    I wish that the education system includes more art in the realization of the learning program.

    Art centre Saksala ArtRadius has started to create an environment in which children can explore art, nature, history and science in a natural way. School classes can have great experiences during special workshops in the CHILDREN'S LABYRINTH.
