Her approach was to ask questions which the kids could not simply answer with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ thereby stimulating their imagination. Another one was to make the materials used in art more familiar by letting the kids experience them: Is stone cold and how warm is wood? What sound does glass make and how much does a bronze statue weigh? How hard is it to throw a leaf made of paper and how easy is it to mold clay?

Jane Meresmaa-Roos – Curator of the Art Education Programme at Kumu
