It encourages children to develop the ability to express and understand their complex visual life. Its commitment is to help children to recognize the worth of their own visions, paying stronger attention on children way of seeing the daily visual images that surround them.
The project is divided in three phases: 1) "Visual images in my life", images would be "read as texts" just as, through the use of imagination, texts can be read as images. 2) "I wanna take a photo", children's verbal and written communicational skills will be sharpened; they will be able to express better their ideas and feelings. 3) "Digitalizing me", children will be skillful creators and producers of web messages, through the use of a web site, children will be able to analyze and comment about other children's works.
