Show your creativity!
Sally Stuudio teachers conducted a creativity test to promote creativity among young people. We designed worksheets based on three basic shapes. Each of the worksheet was filled with one shape: triangles, squares or circles. We payed a visit to five secondary schools in Tallinn and asked about 200 students to continue the basic shapes drawing as many different objects, symbols etc they could imagine. Creative drawing was not as simple as it seemed at first. It took a lot of thinking to draw around fifty different images.
Näita oma loovust!
Sally Stuudio õpetajad viisid läbi omamoodi loovuse testi. Kujundasime kolmel algkujundil põhinevad töölehed. Iga leht oli täidetud ühe kujundiga: kolmnurkade, ruutude või ringidega. Külastasime viit Tallinna kooli ning palusime õpilastel jätkata algkujundeid joonistades nii palju erinevaid asju, kui neile pähe tuleb. Loov joonistamine ei olnudki nii lihtne, kui esmapilgul tundus. Umbes viiekümne erineva kujundi leidmine nõudis päris palju loovat mõtlemist.
Miniature installations in urban space
In everyday life, city space is a functional environment. Urban art, on the other hand, uses city as a playground, which allows to create new realities and enliven the environment or solve problems by artistic initiative. During this task the students were looking for witty solutions alter the meaning of places and situation by adding artificial elements.
Miniinstallatsioonid linnaruumis
Igapäevaelus on linnaruum meie jaoks funktsionaalne keskkond. Linnaaruumikunst vaatab aga linna kui mänguplatsi, mis võimaldab luua uusi tegelikkusi, elavdada linnaruumi või kunstnikualgatuse korras lahendada probleemseid kohti. Miniskulptuuride ülesande kaudu otsisid noored nutikaid lahedusi, kuidas eri paikadesse elemente lisades muuta nende tähendust.
