On the trail of art
Cordura has developed an innovative and digital learning and experience concept for students visiting the museum HEART.
"On the trail of art - an active art experience in Birk" is the title of the new digital educational experience that HEART can now offer schools across the country.
In close cooperation with the museum, Cordura has developed, designed and produced the final app, which takes students on a unique art experience in and around the museum.
The goal of the app is to give students an active and participatory art experience, where they can explore, experience and learn about the special architecture and sculptures in the area.
Paper and pencil is replaced with the app, and by inspiring questions and exercises, the app will guide the students to make soundscapes, taking photos, draw and write on basis of their experience of the artwork.
A digital learning and experience concept
The course consists of three parts: before, during and after.
Before
Prior to the visit the teacher has access to the booking site and
a teachers guide which thoroughly describes the process and the
thoughts behind the experience.
It is possible to choose among eight courses, called tracks. The
tracks are targeted subjects of Danish and Arts. The teacher will
thus be able to select the prefered track and prepare the visit
thoroughly and incorporate it into a before-during-after
experience.
Under
The app serves as both a didactic and practical guide, which
ensures that the students are guided through a route of art works
and related exercises.
The app ensures that their products are collected and stored along
the way. After the experience the students will be guided to select
and sort through their collected material.
The students are also encouraged to work with different types of
experimental digital work in the museums education
department.
After
The products of the studens will
automatically be sent via Corduras system
to the teacher when the class leaves the museum. The material can
then be accessed and processed, when they arrive back at the
school. In the teacher's guide they'll find inspiration for further
work with the art.
The project
The app is developed in a collaboration between Cordura, HEART as well as teachers and students from Herningsholm School.
The project is realized with the support of Kulturstyrelsen and the Regionsrådet i Region Midtjylland.
