The guidance for remote art program ‘Let’s exchange the postcards’
The remote art program 2021 ‘Let’s exchange the postcards’ is specially made for the child at orphanages. While staying at orphanages, the child exchanges the art postcards and letters with multiple knock-knock art-communicators three times in 2 months. Through this process, the child learns the various views to appreciate the art postcards.
Features:
・The art program with focus on words.
Children communicate with art-communicators through the art postcard and the letters.
・’knock-knock’ endeavors to create a program that specifically meets the requests of each orphanage (timing, period, sending letters to the temporarily absent child in hospital, etc.).
・Using an originally designed appreciation kit, children will appreciate a wide variety of postcards from museums around the world as if they were actual art works in the museum, We value the words of the children, and four or more art communicators will respond to each child through the first and second correspondences.
knock-knock
‘Art-communicators’ with various backgrounds in their 30s to 60s. (All the art-communicators are graduates of the Tobira project at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum and Tokyo University of the Arts.)
After studying dialogue and art-communication while volunteering and working at museums, they founded the art team ‘knock-knock.’
Since 2014, knock-knock has conducted art workshops to create opportunities for people who have few opportunities to enocounter art to experience art work.
※Art program ‘Let’s go to the museum’ was held 22 times from August 2014 to February 2020.
※Remote art program ‘Let`s exchange the postcards’ was held eight times from August 2020 to December 2021.
