Body and language

    What does our body tell us? How do we study body language? Let art open for a closer reflection on what the body is able to express and viewed at different historical times.

    This theme is aimed at primary school and inspired by displays of Louisiana’s collection. It explores how artists use the body as motif and narrative. How can we study body language? What body ideals are revealed? We can see how artists use the body as part of a narrative. For example to tell a story about feelings and relationships among people. Simultaneously the theme is raising awareness about our own bodies and sensory experiences.

    With this theme we focus on selected art works from the Louisiana collection. We include works that cover various means of artistic expressions from paintings, photography, sculpture to video art or installation. Throughout the sessions we involve bodily exercises, sketching, and process writing. We offer 1 and 2-hour sessions in the exhibition. In the 2-hour sessions, the second part of the session takes place in the workshop. Here, students (up to level 7) work to create their own stories in sculpture.
