Educational program for upper secondary education students
English/Dutch/Papiamentu
The BlueBay Sculpture Garden Foundation offers a free educational program of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for upper secondary school students in Curaçao. The students walk a route through the sculpture garden, receive information about the statues they encounter and complete assignments on an answer sheet. The material is available in Dutch or Papiamentu.
Classes can come during school hours or students can also do this route individually as an assignment. For a school visit, please contact Tosca Geneste +599 9 5132255 of the BlueBay Resort in advance, she can plan the school visit with you. BlueBay Resort offers school classes the opportunity to use the bay after the excursion. Completely free but in consultation.
The educational material can be downloaded below. (Other interested parties can of course also take advantage of this). The lesson notes can be downloaded onto a computer, mobile phone or tablet. The Answer Sheet must be printed. Once at the Sculpture Garden, a sculpture route can be walked. Many statues in the Sculpture Garden have assignments and questions. Students can answer these, alone or with each other, on the Answer Sheet. The description states where the works of art are located. The route is easy to follow on foot.
Many works have two symbols. Both symbols refer to enrichment substance. Search assignments can be made at school or at home using the internet, delving deeper into an artist. The other assignments, City Assignments, belong to works of art by the artist in question that can be found elsewhere on the island.
