PROJECTS FOR TEACHERS

COPYRIGHT ASSOCIAÇÃO CULTURAL “O MUNDO DE LYGIA CLARK”

Due to numerous requests from our website and contacts with the Cultural Association "The World of Lygia Clark" we are making available to teachers some proposals made by Lygia Clark to students of different ages.

On our website we have the biography of Lygia Clark, and in the area of Archive the "Livro-Obra" full written by Lygia Clark available.

Lygia provokes the viewer's participation in the work.

She developed a sensitization work called "Nostalgia of the Body" and developed through contact with the object, body relaxation and perception of sensations.

Between common objects and plastics she invites every one to invent and participate. A person creates a relationship with these objects through the texture, weight, size, etc. Below are some suggestions: "Sensorial Gloves” - (gloves of different textures and a ball that fits in the hand) using the glove to catch the ball and then with his bare hands to rediscover the touch.

"Ping Pong" - (plastic bag filled with air and three ping-pong balls inside) make slight pressure on top of the bag resting on the palm of your hand and feel (in the palm of the hand) the ball go through it.

“Stone and Air” - (plastic bag and flat stone) consists in filling a bag with air, closing its end and putting a stone on the top, the child plays with the movement of the stone hitting the bag and saw the stone up and down.

"Relational Objects" - bags of sand (heavy), air (light), shells (noise), or other materials: smooth, rough, filling bags with peas and passing through the arm, stimulating sensitivity.

"Water and Shells" - (plastic bag, water, shells and elastic) elastic divides the bag into equal parts without isolating them, just by moving the shells inside.

"Draw with the Finger" - a plastic bag with a little water, and perhaps colored, child plays in drawing with his finger, slipping and sliding on the plastic content.

"Living Structures – Dialogues” - 2 big and thick rubber bands interlocking the legs, at the ankle height of the children, by uniting them to work together, dialogue through gestures.

"Walking" - (Moebius strip and scissors) - insert a tip on the surface of the tape and cut continuously along its length. To the extent that it cuts the ribbon, it thins and unfolds in twists.

On our site you can find pictures of a college that has a very interesting work in relation to the work of Lygia Clark, after their experience we will be happy to make available your work too. Contact us.
