Reggio Emilia schools are equipped with a studio called the atelier. The Atelier is used to complement children's creations, manipulation, experimentation and research. The atelierista is a visual arts specialist teacher who works in conjuntion with the classroom teachers observing and promoting children's learning and creative process.
In our school we have the art studio where children can explore one hundred ways to express their authentic art creation.
According to Loris Magaluzzi founder of Reggio Emilia The Atelier is " [... ] a place for researching motivations and theories of children from scribbles on up, a place for exploring variations in tools, techniques and materials with which to work.” In the atelier or art studio children are immersed in media and ideas. It is also a place for teachers to try to understand children’s intentions, thinking and learning.
