GAM Milano

Images, texts and audio descriptions of a wide selection of works are proposed. The creation of the audio guide was inspired for didactic purposes for the Art and Image course at the Quintino Di Vona First Grade Secondary School, Milan.

We have proposed to the students a new project for the 2018/19 school year: an Android App dedicated to the GAM of Milan, making this Museum "the fixed exit on the territory" for all third grades. We have already developed a series of Apps consisting of audio guides for Android mobile phones, concerning the history of art and evaluation tests relating to the various artistic periods treated in the classroom (obviously all free and without advertising, they are practically a continuation of the frontal lessons in the classroom. ).

Our objectives: to develop a multi-handed work (interdisciplinary because language colleagues will also be involved). Propose a project conceived and implemented by the children of the eighth grade classes (following the chronological path that is treated in the last year of middle school: from neoclassicism to modern art). Select a series of significant works from the permanent collection for each artistic period by creating an audioguide-like description (bilingual English / Italian text and related audio). Guarantee the free of charge of the Android App, depriving it of any form of advertising and complying with current regulations relating to user privacy.

In the desire to further explore the subject and our other activities, I invite you to access my blog http://proffrana.altervista.org/ in the section “The great Masters and artistic periods”. The in-depth material is also available on the institute's website https://sites.google.com/site/verobiraghi/ in the section “Art history lessons”.
