Athanasakeion Archaeological Museum of Volos, February 11th to March 12th 2012.

This exhibition presents the works of children that participated in an arts workshop, “A travelogue through the Worlds of Art and History”, organized by artist Christina Nakou, during 2010-2011. In these after-class workshops, organized by the Hill School, Athens, 25 children, 5 to 10 years old, were creatively engaged in a dialogue between art and artistic practices of different historical periods and their own artistic art-making endeavours.

The travelogue through the world of art and history aimed at bringing children into a first contact with the Art World, through their own artistic exploration and creation.

Overall, the exhibition “Travelling in time through art” highlights the manifold mental and artistic creative potential of children through contact with the world of art, which are expressed when given the right environment.

The exhibition is the creative outcome of a collaboration betweenthe Athanasakeion Archaeological Museum of Volos and the University of Thessaly (Museum Research and Education Laboratory, Department of Pre-school Education, and the Lab of Environmental Communication and Audiovisual Documentation (LECAD),Department of Architecture).
