Srotolab is a new series of materials for pre-primary and primary schools focusing on a particular author or theme: creativity, discipline, nature...  The rolls form the basis for a series of creative and collective workshops to be carried out in the classroom with children from 4 to 8 years old.

Play in the collective workshop The fundamental aspect of these materials is their ability to generate collective workshops, "homemade" environments in which boys and girls can get involved and bring their own original contributions. Under the guidance of an adult, different ideas, sensitivities and languages ​​are compared to build new artworks which are the fruit of everyone's collaboration: artworks which in turn will produce other reflections to be shared within the group. In this first Srotolab, Hervé Tullet and Alessandra Falconi enter pre-schools and primary schools with collective workshops designed to develop children’s creativity.

Collective workshops, some examples:

DRAW A FIELD FULL OF FLOWERS Hervé Tullet’s most famous SROTOLAB workshop. The material in the roll allows you to do it “well,” almost “as if” the artist were there with you in person. Boys and girls work with dots, circles, and positions in space, guided by the artist's proposal.

RACETRACKS TO DRAW A game of constructing race tracks in which boys and girls have different graphic ideas and different composition possibilities at their disposal. Once their track has been created, they begin to play along the path suggested by the track with toy cars. The work is completed graphically by dipping the wheels in paint and following the combined path with the colours.
