Figure poietiche preadolescenti. Una ricerca art-based a scuola

Abstract

What are the favorite places of preadolescent imagery? Born as a moment of observation and analysis in teaching Arte e Immagine at lower secondary school, the research investigates reasons and qualities of a hypothetical preadolescent aesthetic universe. Art, language and sensitivity of the so called wandering age are at the core of an art-based research in education that outlines countless figures in preadolescent aesthetic sensitivity, poietic figures deriving from the need to try out and communicate new and adventurous experiences, exciting pictures that allow to discover oneself.
