Ricreare le opere d’arte con flashmobs e quadri viventi
In occasione della riapertura del Rijksmuseum di Amsterdam, è stato organizzato un flashmob per la rappresentazione del famoso quadro di Rembrandt “Ronda di notte” (1642). Il flashmob ha avuto luogo in un centro commerciale, in cui bizzarri personaggi, vestiti secondo la moda del XVII secolo, hanno iniziato a correre e mescolarsi tra gli ignari presenti. Il tutto è terminato con la rappresentazione del gruppo dipinto da Rembrandt
Il flashmob di un’opera d’arte o la rappresentazione di essa tramite “quadri viventi” rappresentano una Best practice molto efficace, in cui la rappresentazione crea una dimensione tangibile e reale dell’oggetto museale. L’educazione al patrimonio artistico è resa più facile e interessante agli studenti, nonché divertente e creativa. Flashmob e “quadri viventi” possono essere organizzati in innumerevoli contesti e possono riguardare tutte le opere d’arte, senza alcuna restrizione. La rappresentazione pratica dei quadri e delle sculture può essere effettuata facilmente anche dal punto di vista economico: i costi dipendono esclusivamente dai materiali usati e dal numero di attori presenti.
Gli studenti di qualsiasi età possono prendere parte al flashmob, dalla fase di ideazione a quella di realizzazione finale.
Recreating artwork through Flash mobs and living pictures
COURSES This approach can be applied in the following courses / subjects:
- Design and technology (ICT)
- History
- Art and design
NATIONAL CURRICULUM Learning by doing is a learning methodology promoted by the Italian Institution system from Primary to High School.
GOALS This best practice shows that flash mobs and living pictures create a vital dimension and offer a lot of fun to participants. In this way, museum education is made easier and more interesting for students.
Flash mobs and living pictures can easily be produced and almost all artworks can be interpreted, without restriction, just some imagination is needed.
Artworks can be interpreted easily and cheaply. Therefore, the costs depend on what is to be represented, in which way and which materials are needed.
PARTICIPANTS From Primary to High School students
DURATION The representation of a painting lasts for a maximum of 15 minutes. The duration of a flashmob presentation depends on what is to be represented, in which way and which materials are needed.
PLAN OF ACTIVITIES On the occasion of the reopening of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, a flashmob was created representing the famous “Night Watch” of Rembrandt. It took place in a shopping centre, starting off with wildly bizarre characters with clothes of the seventeenth century running around. Then, suddenly everything ended in the composition of Rembrandt’s famous group portrait.
Students and teacher can represent a painting or a sculpture in several ways: they can take a picture of their self being part of the artwork or represent the artwork itself in a street, a coffee-bar or in a museum. In this way, students organise each activity of the flashmob planning (materials, setting, participant, time) and produce the artwork with their self.
UTILITIES A digital video camera can be used to record the activity and share it through online channels and social network.
