We offer a total of 27 educational programmes for secondary school students, divided into five packages with a focus on the following themes: developing emotional intelligence, promoting creativity across educational areas, the reflection of historical events in art, the legacy of the Baroque era and using English when talking about art.
Each programme contains activities that comprehensively develop communications skills, aesthetic perception, creativity and empathy.
The first package promotes the development of visual perception and emotional intelligence. A key motivation behind this package, which is based on GASK’s permanent exhibition, is the fact that emotional intelligence is a path to understanding interpersonal relationships in all areas of life.
The Face of the Baroque3 programmes
The programmes in the second package were created with an emphasis on interdisciplinary ties between the educational areas ‘Art and Culture’, ‘Language and Communication’, ‘Mathematics and Its Application’, ‘People and Society’ and ‘People and Nature’. The main starting point is creativity, the development of which is a vital precondition for a full appreciation of the world we live in.
Rays of Light
How do our activities affect events on the other side of the world? What influence do they have on people from different cultures? What can we learn from them?
Czech painter Otto Placht lives with a tribe in the Amazon jungle. In his work, he combines native and modern artistic traditions. We will work with his painting Grass to enter into the depths of the jungle while creating our own depiction of the rich diversity we stand to lose if we do not take proper care of our planet.
Playing with Shapes
Who are the people that Josef Čapek captured in his paintings? Why did he paint them? Why do the figures look like they have been composed from geometric shapes?
In this programme, we will work with Čapek’s Organ Grinder to introduce students to the world of geometric shapes and people who have been less fortunate in life than others.
Into the Jungle
Can we communicate without words? Without writing? Without telephones? What might we use to replace usual means of communication?
In her work, Adriena Šimotová depicts people and the human body using distinctive techniques. In this programme, students explore everyday gestures and moments while experimenting with how to communicate without words.
A package of programmes aimed at subjects ranging from the First World War to the present day. The goal of the chosen combination of programmes is to introduce students to art history as a tool for exploring the complicated events of the 20th century.
This English-language package combines the educational areas of Art and Culture and Language and Language Communication (specifically the study of the English language) – two vital and enriching parts of our lives. The programme’s goal is to offer students the chance to make practical use of a foreign language while sharing their experience form a work of art and discussing the circumstances under which it was made.
