Mola

To get them to open up to the world, to question their desires, their dreams, their ambitions and enable them to become the citizens of tomorrow, the Department has been offering educational itineraries for college students in Maine-et-Loire for several years.

The contemporary artist looks at and questions his time, society and the world. The itinerary addresses art as a factor of emancipation and individual and collective development.

It is a question here of working on the way in which the contemporary artist looks at and questions his time, society and the world through his approach to plastic, visual and graphic creation. By paralleling artistic commitment and the construction of the individual as a citizen, the itinerary aims to approach art as a factor of emancipation and individual and collective development.

The artist Marie-Johanna Cornut and her Mola project addresses the relationships between traditional practice and contemporary imagery and allows students to discover materials and techniques (drawing, sewing, collage, composition, sculpture), different cultures and eras, to mix art and craftsmanship and to appropriate signs and symbols to invent or assert their own identity.

Visits for a direct encounter with the works of art are organized and echo this workshop work: a behind-the-scenes tour of the Frac collection in Carquefou (discovery of the institution and the work of conservation of the works), a visit to the Textile Museum of Cholet.

In collaboration with the Frac des Pays de la Loire, as part of the departmental operation “Prenez l’Art” and the three-year convention between the Frac and the department. An educational itinerary for the Department of Maine-et-Loire offered to colleges for the year 2019-2020, a “citizen” and “artistic and cultural education” course.
