pigmento, master thesis at Venice IUAV University

Transcript

1. pigmento

2. cos’è pigmento is a learning experience which allow kids to

   play and to understand on the subtractive synthesis color

3. research

4. educational innovations the Munari approach kids like to make things

   in a free way so they learn and practice on tecniques and materials Munari was one of the first educator who use to have a “studio” for kids 1950

5. The canadian programme “learning through di arts” aims to teach

   any subject basics through a free approach. There are already great results. - - educatioal innovations learning through the Arts 1950 1990

6. the colour topic one of the first educational experiences is

   about the colour. primary school Museo Sturm, Bassano Del Grappa

7. educational opportunities often the approach is just aesthetical basedand the

   question “why does it work in this way” is not always answered

8. interdisciplinarity color let people recognize what’s going on

9. interdisciplinarity the color naming is often hard that’s way there

   are several scales

10. at school sometimes there is a need to know the

    result through the process Today there isn’t a software which allow people to simulate - the combination of colors based on quantities, but just qualities

11. learning as experience if the screen let people know more

    details, the physical interface can give a stronger feeling the interdisciplinarity of colors deserves a free approach

12. the result whitin the process the making can be a

    way to learn “learning by doing” the aim is to find a feeling among the rainassance crafting and a pleasent learning, potentially simolous for a further study - -

13. design

14. the interface granes let kids free to play and discover.

    This suits perfectly for pigments -

15. the material pigments once mixed, they can’t be splitted again

    - - color is a psicofisic quality. This truth - let then choose to videoproject over the salt

16. why the salt salt and pigments share the same mineral

    origin, a variable morphology and both had a very important role in the past Also, it is not dangerous if eaten
17. None

18. π / 2 1π / 10 9 π / 10

    13 π / 10 17 π / 10 ∆c < r MIX color filling salt detection light color projection

19. every material has its own cromatic based on the surface,

    place, observer, etc. - color design

20. color design the new is to get the subtractive synthesis

    through the light, which is usually used for the additive one - this leads to design the gamut also based on the “salt ” material

21. color design filling color techniques can be: uniform real synthesis

    not uniform apparent synthesis

22. prototyping

23. prototyping has often given the chance to redesign the interactive

    table and the overall experience

24. the skeleton modular and easy to build with some solution

    in order to use a common videoprojector

25. programming Arduino for leds setting Processing for the elaboration OpenCV

    libriry for the vision elaboration

26. user testing

27. Clara, 7 yrs wihout any previous color study Isotta, 9

    yrs Marina, 9 yrs elementary knowledge user testing

28. while at the borders there are the primary colors, over

    the centre it is possible to get the derivate color

29. the possible behaviours can be many thanks to the granular

    material and kids have shown a playful feedback and learning

30. the granularity makes kids free to express personal stories and

    something about their personality

31. interest in the scientific context (public conference and pubblication) exhibit

    in the next Science Festival in Genova, Italy great feeling among the users Results

32. thanks
