“#Flora al Ponte” in Rimini “refining” the eyes and hands in search of beauty
The immersive experience re-proposes the typology of the Grand Tour that artists and writers had already carried out from the end of the eighteenth century and for a good part of the nineteenth century, painting the landscapes they crossed in their sketchbooks.
At that time the trip to Italy, the elite considered it as a necessary rite of passage: initiation into culture and beauty, which started from the Alps to reach the extreme Sicily. Big cities as Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples but also Rimini with its Roman vestiges already immortalized in its “ruins” Gian Battista Piranesi.
Discover the Tiberius Bridge, the women of the Grand Tour an en-plein-air watercolor painting workshop, with a beautiful model led by the artist Alessandro La Motta
Like those incredible women on his Grand Tour in Italy armed with block, colors and surrounded by beautiful flowers, a beautiful model and good vibes.
Among the artists who designed and crossed the Tiberius bridge and navigated among its millenary arches there is certainly William Turner one of the most revolutionary artists of the nineteenth century and who passes through Rimini on two occasions on his travels in Italy, leaving us testimony in his Sketchbooks.
And today we will tell and discover the history of the Bridge through the eyes of a contemporary artist, Alessandro La Motta, who will guide us in this experience. Live the Spring, and the Joy of the Blossom of the flowers with an unconventional style of a painting class in Italy: Pop as Andy Warhol, graphic as Hiroshige.
A collection of looks, emotions and details; a code with which to decrypt the city to form an immersive experience in its monuments: the goal is to access unconventional exploration, to really learn live.
WHY
You may find it difficult to capture all the beauty of the Tiberius Bridge but just trying it can have an extremely positive impact. Painting is a meditative act: it takes you out of yourself, freeing you from your physical limits. This means that you are focusing only on the present and the artwork in front of you as you paint, clearing your mind of intrusive worries and thoughts.
Researchers from Germany found that people who spent time creating visual art actually showed greater connectivity in their brains during fMRI scans and showed improvements in “psychological resilience,” a term that describes a person’s ability to cope with negative emotions and remain happy and functional during stressful living conditions
Painting gives vent to one’s emotions. Painting is an exercise for the whole brain, which strengthens the mind and triggers the activity of dopamine in the brain. So spending time indulging your creative spirit is basically aerobic for your brain
Children who are exposed to art from an early age – as shown by a study from the Arts Council of England – are also more likely to develop a solid passion for culture over the course of their lives, especially if encouraged to draw, color and to paint in first person.
