Goldschuh, Silberschuh, Art About Shoes! – Children's audio guide in progress

"Woman
Bendorf? What is our next topic in Audioguides? "

As
When Vincent asks his question, he looks up briefly from the picture he is
(a monster with lots of eyes!) Well, that would be nice if “Audioguide”
a school subject. Our next topic would be comics and maybe we would
then add so-called sound words (bang! boing!) to music… “AudioGuide” would then be
no longer a working group, but perhaps also a teaching topic in the subject “cultural
Education”, and the children also learned reading skills here.

We
gave the students a selection of shoe stories at the beginning, fairy tales and poems.
Everyone quickly picked something out. “I’m doing Cinderella with Emma,”
Alena decides immediately. Then, an hour later: “Can Emma also
Do Cinderella alone? That is soooo difficult!” – “Yes Alena, you have
right! The text is also really long and the fairy tale is in such an old language that
is quite unusual – would you rather have a poem?” we offer.
 

Alena
has a pleasantly scratchy and slightly rough voice, something funny fits. “Goldschuh,
Silver shoe, patent leather shoe, shit shoe. Shit shoe?!” The girl giggles. The “shit shoe”
Julian also pricked up his ears. “What else does it say?” He grabbed the
thick book of poems and begins to read from it, alternating with Vincent.
Poem about quiet and loud farts immediately becomes a favorite – but fits
Unfortunately, this does not apply to our shoe theme. But what is much
More importantly, we are completely committed and have a great sense of self-confidence
Two third-graders read poems to each other. Several times in a row and so

Meanwhile
Moritz and Jonas are already sitting in the so-called “Moritz room” (the Moritz room has
Its name was already given to us in the last audio guide project, because we
quiet boy the opportunity to choose a room in which he
can practice in a concentrated manner – he is visibly pleased that he has his own space here).

The
Children’s audio guide was already a project “before Corona” where you had to keep distances
so that everyone can practice reading aloud. For this we use the
inspiring and spacious rooms of our painting school. Ten children, five
Rooms, high ceilings, huge windows. Anyone who needs a break from practicing can
use Ulla's well-stocked cupboard and draw something.

And
Finally I get to talk to the right picture book experts: “Leyla,
what did you last read?” – “Latte Igel!” – “Ah, I know that, because
I know the illustrator – “Yes, Daniel Napp did that. It says
on the front. He also made the little water sprite. I saw it when
I was in the museum with Mrs. Bendorf.” I am impressed by Leyla, but also
from the density of projects of our museum educators. Crown-AG, audio guide,
RuhrKunstUrban … I look at the windowsill and admire the pretty
Solar LED glasses containing small, meticulously shaped clay figures – the
I would have loved to do this, not only as a child! The glasses are for RuhrKunstUrban
Another story (future blog post), but they are now
here in the painting school, where many things interlock and inspire each other
may.

Meanwhile
Alena and Emma practice more difficult words. “Blonde-curled youth”… “Sandwich –
I always say Strulle… Stulle! Stulle!”. Emphasis, pauses, question marks =
Voice up – if you already have all of this down, you can join Kevin in front of the microphone and
I carefully open the door and get eye rolls because I
Always the same – Sorry! Henriette is sitting in front of the
microphone and has the thick headphones on his ears, while Kevin is recording
That sounds great! I am impressed and go to Jonas and Moritz,
who practice in the aforementioned Moritz room: They read “Puss in Boots”.

Kevin
brings Henriette back from the recording: “Great! She rocked it! Completely upright
and she sat there in front of the microphone, concentrating, and simply reading!
Emphasis included!” Now she can rest easy on her laurels.
there is a knock. “Mrs. Bendorf, where were you?” “I went to get Stutenkerle.
A little refreshment!” Now Vincent is even more certain: “This is really the
best company!”
