The Light of Images of Segorbe educational workshop is furthering schoolchildren's familiarisation with art at Expojove




The Light of Images of Segorbe is reproducing the exhibition's educational workshop, attended by over 5,000 schoolchildren, at Expojove. The stand of the sacred art exhibition has been adapted for the children's fair with Christmas decorations.

The Light of Images is participating at the fair with the altarpiece workshop. The exhibition stand is distributed in three areas, all of these intended for children's participation. In the first space, with a capacity for 20 and presided over by the image of the Saint Luke Altarpiece, the children are first given a theoretical explanation of the composition, structure, layout or meaning of an altarpiece. Then they are turned into painters to compose an altarpiece with motifs inspired in their personal relations. The children also fit together different jigsaw puzzles on compositions at the exhibition.

The second feature, also with a capacity for 20, consists of a stage with panels reproducing the "Adoration of the Magi" scene, one of the panels in the Macip altarpiece. A monitor explains the meaning of the panel and seven children are dressed up to reproduce the scene as a living Nativity scene. The stand is rounded off by a sequence of panels which narrate a tale on the inspiration of painters. This story is developed at the Segorbe educational workshop storyteller's activity.

Through these exercises the educational workshop facilitates the children's psychomotor development and at the same time assists in the learning process by means of participation. The educational workshop is one of the most highly successful events at The Light of Images of Segorbe exhibition and is also a big hit at Expojove.

To reward the children's participation, The Light of Images has arranged two competitions a day for each of the scenarios, at which the prize winners are given T-shirts, puzzles or tickets for the exhibition. There is also an information point at the stand about the sacred art exhibition, with brochures, catalogues and contact telephones for visiting the event.
