Abstract:

The Prague City Gallery (GHMP) has developed a series of educational video tutorials aimed at families with children, pupils, students, teachers, and the general public across all age groups. These “step-by-step” guides introduce engaging art tasks, techniques, and workshops, inspired primarily by selected works from the GHMP collections. Through these videos, viewers can explore the GHMP’s collections in greater depth while learning new artistic techniques, approaches, and methods. The tutorials are structured around three main thematic lines: distinctive artists and their unique styles, artistic themes, and key concepts in art theory (such as colour theory and expressive means).

These tutorials can effectively support both distance and traditional in-person learning and offer a creative way to enrich children’s free time. Among the topics featured are, for example, Alena Kučerová and her characteristic graphic perforation technique, Jiří Sopko and his bold use and combination of vivid colours, or the theme of still life drawn from the GHMP collections, explored from various perspectives. The tutorials also demonstrate how to navigate and use GHMP’s online collections. Reflecting current educational trends – including intermediality, interactivity, and interdisciplinarity – these videos foster visual, digital, and emotional literacy while strengthening cultural awareness and appreciation for art.
