Educational services
Educational services at the Museo dei Bozzetti began in 2003 in order to supply a more complete knowledge of Pietrasanta regarding contemporary sculpture and also to make use of the museum collection of the models and to give an easier approach to contemporary art.
Through didactic methodology and clear rules, the museum offers ideas on sculptural techniques, on tactile characteristics of different materials and on their possibilities of combination.
Techniques and rules are deduced from the artworks and proposed in form of a game, using more visual than verbal explanation. The reproduction of the marble laboratory and foundry that are located in the museum are used for specific and technical clarification.
It is the visual and manual experiences what really teaches children the language of art and gives them ideas on tactile aspects of objects and materials and the expressivity of shapes. In the end the children find their own way to create an artwork.
Users
Educational section comprises two specific separate but correlated areas: School and Public. Departing from the services offered to schools, the section has widened over time to include a broad range of specific activities offered to various public groups: families, associations, disabled people, cultural tourism.
