Uses of Art
Art’usi plays with the name of the famous Italian cookbook by Pellegrino Artusi (1891) that, by chance, includes in his name the terms of Art and Usi (uses). The blog presents a series of hands-on experiences in the field of art history and its multiple applications led by the authors in museums, schools, universities, professional trainings, festivals.
Art’usi chooses the metaphor of the recipe to suggest varied uses of game, interaction, network, social media to enjoy and use the artworks as raw materials for new experiences in the field of training and edutainment.
