Abstract
The educational project Adotta Scienza e Arte nella tua classe (Adopt Science and Art in your class), on the science-art interconnection, is addressed to the Italian secondary middle and high school students. It proposes them to produce a piece of artwork inspired by the interpretation of a quotation among a hundred commented quotes by physicists, mathematicians, scientists, writers, artists, accompanied by an original short sentence by the student himself/herself. The artworks enter two contests, one based on the public vote (“I like”) in the social networks and the other on the evaluation of an expert jury. Adotta Scienza e Arte nella tua classe was first presented at the conceptual design stage to the Aplimat Conference, Bratislava, 2012, by the association Esplica–no profit, Laboratorio per la divulgazione culturale e scientifica nell’era digitale. Afterwards, the project design was fully defined. The classroom practices are supported by the document 100 + 1 frasi famose sulla scienza (100 + 1 famous quotes on science), a collection of famous quotations by scientists and artists, expressly designed for the project. Each quotation is referenced and presented with an original comment. Another tool for the teachers to use in their classes is the interactive collection of 78 + 10 biografie (78+10 biographies), a file gathering about 400 links to the biographies of the scientists and artists proposed in the 100+1 frasi famose sulla scienza, selected taking into account the cultural levels of the students involved. These tools are meant as an inceptive suggestion for the classroom practices to the teachers and students. The communicative strength of quotations and aphorisms on science by famous scientists, artists and writers is a universal value. The original comments are inspired to a philosophy based on the science-art connection, which strengthens the teaching practices and constitutes a challenge to the students to express their creativity by producing artworks. This article deals with the characterising features of the project Adotta Scienza e Arte nella tua classe, through the description of the teaching materials and an overview of the actual evolution of the project (updated in December 2012).
