A New Phase for Bambini Creativi

18 months ago, I wrote a post about Bambini Creativi, a project in Kansas City.  I've followed Brianne's work as she travelled around the city with her exhibit, I saw her on America's Next Great Restaurant, and now I get to share these photos of the beautiful new space she has in Kansas City.

Brianne had lots of photos to share, but I only grabbed a few that I think are real conversation pieces.  The spaces are well planned, and I can't wait to see what they look like after the children have been in them, also!  I can't help but think about the schools I saw in Reggio Emilia, especially the International Centre Loris Malaguzzi, when I see this space.

Congratulations and good luck to Brianne and her teachers!

A Video from Bambini Creativi

I'm so glad to share a video that Brianne from Bambini Creativi sent over a few weeks ago.




I love the girls repeating that action of putting the circle over each other.  The projector plays second fiddle here - its presence really gives the space an ambiance, but this reminds me of the many times that my students will be interacting with each other in front of the projector and get so engrossed with their interaction that they ignore those beautiful shadows for a few minutes.  I used to be puzzled by it - but sometimesthe actions of playmate are much more mesmorizing!
