Study Notes
Concept of a Studio
- A studio is defined as a space for experimental interplay, inspired by artists and the Reggio Emilia approach, rather than merely an art room or exhibition space.
- It serves as an environment for collective inquiry, allowing children and educators to experiment with materials and ideas collaboratively.
Importance of Collaboration
- Individual creativity is recognized, but the emphasis is on nurturing collective practices, creating a relational space for shared experiences in constructing and understanding.
- The studio is dynamic and constantly evolving, defined by ongoing collaboration and creativity.
Features of the Studio
- Characterized by collective experimentation, playful engagements, and sensitivity to processes and materials, which develop over time.
- Educators and atelierista learn to engage with children's movements, fostering a collaborative "dance" of creativity.
Relational Aesthetics

- Engagement in a studio requires active participation, with meanings emerging from relational dynamics and moments of disruption.
Use of Provocation

- It functions as a call and response mechanism, prompting continuous experimentation and creative movement.
