Designed for children aged 5-12, accompanied by an adult
* Please note: This is Day 2 of a two-day programme. The
artists' intention is that both programmes are attended for children to
get the most out of them.
Day 2 (continued from 22/3/21)
Visual artist Helen Barry and violinist Gwendolyn Masin have spent
the past months creating a programme designed for children that brings
visual art and classical music into playful partnership. Gwendolyn and
Helen believe that children can draw a path to their own inherent wisdom
if their imagination is engaged. Children can be focused and inspired
without constant need for stimulation from others - once they know how. The
programme takes children on a journey through music (from Bach to
Boulanger), art (Chagall to Van Gogh), art history, and music history.
With
a particular focus on communication that is reflective of the core
principles and approaches used by Visual Thinking Strategies, Gwendolyn
and Helen help deepen learning through inquiry-based teaching.
Discovering art, music, and in turn, themselves, children’s imagination
and attention is engaged, resulting in meaningful transformation. All
children aged 5-12 welcome, accompanied by an adult. Only ten places
available We will have a waiting-list. In case you’ve missed your space,
please write to us at zen@the-exhale.com so we can let you know when we
will perform the next programme.
Please bring along: some sheets of A4 paper and a biro or a coloured marker.
Music programme and art works shown and discussed during the course
of the two days will be printed here after the first class and remain
online for your reference for one week after the sessions.
