The exhibition "Zapatrzeni – zasłuchani – zaczytani. Dziecięce strategie uczenia się przez zdziwienie� is an interdisciplinary project that presents a child as an active creator of sound images.
The project is a result of cooperation between the Department of Childhood Education and the Institute of History of Art, University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ, and is presented in the lobby of the modern building of the Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ â€“ in the heart of the New Centre of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ.
The exhibition was inspired by the artistic picture book “Zamieniam siÄ™ w sÅ‚uch, czyli opowieÅ›ci dźwiÄ™kiem malowaneâ€� [I'm All Ears, or Stories Painted with Sound] by Monika WiÅ›niewska-Kin, illustrated by Marta Ignerska. The exhibition will feature high-quality works by children from ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ kindergartens who participated in workshops conducted in compliance with the "Effective Surprise" method.
A formal analysis of these works leads to the conclusion that children intuitively transcend the boundary between representation and expression, constructing coherent systems of visual symbols. For art historians and educators, these are not only a record of the creative process but also a visual testament to thought, in which line, colour and rhythm become tools of cognition.
