Abstract text:
The Antun Augustinčić Gallery has been collaborating with the Bedekovčina High School for the second year in a row, hosting students of the Assistant Ceramics Producer Department for a three-day educational program. These are students who are part of the curriculum for children with learning disabilities. The program includes a guided tour through the Gallery and Studio of the Antun Augustinčić Gallery, and a specially adapted interactive exhibition on the history of art, from Egypt, Greece, Rome, Romanesque and Renaissance art to modern architecture and sculpture. Also included is a presentation on the interesting history of Croatian ceramics of the 20th century, from Hinko Juhn to Jugokeramika or later Inker. In addition to the above, the previous three-day workshops also included practical work modeling the human figure on sculptural structures. The entire program was specially designed and adapted for students of the two-year assistant ceramic manufacturer course from Bedekovčina High School. Each student's task was to create a figure modeled after themselves.
