SCHOOLS PROJECT
PAINTED HOSPITALS IS TOLD IN SCHOOLS
________________________
It’s called HOSPITALS PAINTED SCHOOLS PROJECT, an all-color tour where artist SILVIO IRILLI will travel through Italian regions and tell school children about the significance of the Painted Hospitals project, to raise awareness of the concept of hospital reception and closeness to young patients, but also how to deal with fear during a hospital visit.
The project with one goal: all together to ward off the fears of little patients!
THE PROJECT.
The message that this project wants to convey to children is the importance of solidarity, of “teamwork” that allows them to overcome any difficulties. The child in the hospital feels lonely, excluded from the world he used to live in and that his peers live in every day, and showing him that instead his team is cheering for him, that his peers are waiting for him among them again and that while waiting they are doing something so that the process of his recovery will pass in the happiest way possible becomes an anchor of serenity that will help him leave behind that difficult time with the lightness he so desperately needs.
SMALL PATIENTS, BUT GREAT ARTISTS!
ONE DAY MANY EMOTIONS
Children’s questions, pictures, videos, with before-and-after projections of the wards for a day full of color and lots of excitement with a chance to make an art workshop with artist Irilli and donate the work to the hospital.
“When I was a child I had a dream. Today that dream I paint for little patients”
