Abstract:
Simulation is a process that creates a model of an artistic process or phenomenon that behaves similarly to the original. Through simulation, one can explore how a system would behave under various conditions of art presentation and education. Simulation in visual art has a wide range of supporters. Artists are generally perceived as actors in simulations of certain situations and phenomena in the form of public provocations. In our online contribution, we will create a scene where a short narrative will unfold. This will all be motivated by the theme of mood or emotional state.
Planned Course: We will present a documentation of a series of small spatial compositions using basic materials – paper and colours – to explore the theme of feelings and moods. These compositions will involve actions such as bending, perforating, colouring, and using coloured filters to manipulate light. The small models will represent various scenes, utilising scenographic variants, and incorporating elements like hands or faces, different lighting setups, and will be photographed using a mobile phone to capture multiple versions.
These simulations of specific states of mind will then be interpreted and discussed verbally. To conclude, we will showcase short videos created through stop-motion animation. Reflection: Online dialogue with all participants.

12.1 Things and Musica Arte Povera (A Syncretic Intermedia Project Connecting Student and Child Creativity) (Art Project) – virtual

Abstract:
This is a presentation of an interdisciplinary project that combines artistic and musical expression. Students in the art program at the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University in Brno, along with children, created experimental musical instruments, which are also original art objects. The authors of the project place this type of creativity in contrast to the one-sided use of digital technologies in artistic and musical creation. The project is based on a concept that connects the raw qualities of the artistic movement Arte Povera with expressive music. In today’s era of digital device dominance (smartphones, computers), it represents a deliberate return to manual play with simple found materials of all kinds (wood, stones, plastics, containers, sand, clay, objects, and technical tools).
Similarly, Musica Arte Povera draws on minimalist and found sounds; “collectible musical outputs” are also part of the project (vocal improvisations, field recordings, etc.). The project will be presented through photographs, short texts, and video fragments. The aim of the project presentation is also to provoke questions from the audience and attempt to answer them.

About the author:
Ass. Prof. Hana Stehlíková Babyrádová (born June 5, 1959) Author of several books on children's artistic expression, Art Brut, and art therapy. She has long led supplementary studies in expressive art therapy at the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University in Brno. In her own work, she focuses on drawing, graphics, and garden ceramics. Her art workshops are aimed at working with both children and adults and are held in the spirit of initiating spontaneous artistic expression, which is based on self-expression, expression, and the use of art as a tool for self-assessment. They are open even to those who have no prior experience with artistic creation.
