OSRODEK SZKOLNO WYCHOWAWCZY DLA DZIECI NIEWIDOMYCH I
SLABOWIDZACYCH W KRAKOWIE
By Magdalena KROLE

Krakow (Poland)
" On september this year, there were sculpturing workshops in
our institute. They were inspired by Mrs Sophie Dalmon from France. The
workshops were intended for 16-18 years old teenagers. The workshops
had not only educationnal and learning charactere, they let the
participants to get to know the methods of sculpturing in clay,
but what’s the most important, in our opinion, is that the workshops
made the young participants to think about themselves and about the
world around them. That was a lot easier because of the special
questionnaire they had to complete. These workshops’ subject was
self-portraiture. The sculptures had not only to take into
consideration of the outside reafing - reflection, but also the
inside of every participant.
On the first workshop, the teenagers sculpted their self-portrait using
only their own skills, independentely of any modelling experience. The
second one xas the sculpture-lesson that was given by Sophie. The
teenagers got to know every step and method of creating an human face.
By the end of these classes, the participants could compare the new
self-portraits with the former ones.
This idea was very interesting because the teenagers could find out how
much they had learnt. Even the participants who didn’t like their their
work at first, discovered their surprising progress. It was just very
nice and motivating for them. The participants believed that in such
difficult branch (sculpture), thei could not do so much. The proof they
got that they were wrong is very promising for the future as for now,
they might find this kind of challenge easier for them.
The last workshop was the time when the participants were using the new
purchased skills, to model a self-portrait that shows their
personnality or emotions. The main value of this workshop was to
encourage the teenagers to think about themselves, to explore and to
know better their own caractere, and above all to discover the
meaning of the “inside” beauty that every human being held.
The questions the teenagers had to answer before every workshop, asked
about the perception of beauty within their surounding and within
themselves. The youngsters had to decide what - according to them - is
beautiful, if they were beautiful, if and why other people were...
There were very difficult questions for their age.
Young people are very critical to themselves and others. They care
about how they look and they don’t always see their own value. Thee
workshops could possibly change their attitude a bit. The participants
could not only learn how to sclupt but also - what’s even more
important - they could think about very serious issue (myself, the
world around me, people’s perception of me...).
At first, the artistic aspect appeared to be not accessible to
everyone, but the workshops proved, it wasn’t true. Every one can be
“an artist” and create something really beautiful and interesting.
Sculpturing also gives much fun and satisfaction, which is an added
value. Teenagers from our school attended these workshops with real
pleasure. By eand of every classe, they were very excited and happy
because of what they did.
The biggest value of these workshops was their leader, Mrs. Sophie
Dalmon. She had very logical and easy way of giving knowledge. She also
had very good contact with the teenagers whom were given creative
freedom. Sophie didn’t evaluate their efforts or results, she was only
giving lots of impartial advices. She had a very good influence on the
teenagers by giving them all the support and inspiration they needed.
She was the good spirit of these workshops.
We must say that this experience was not only interesting but also
usefull for our students. We are looking forward the next one."
