What is atelierista

A shared environment, in which students engage with varied materials in ways designed to provoke creativity and discovery. The provocations usually take the form of project based learning experiences or play based learning experiences. They are closely linked to classroom learning and curricular outcomes within any number of key learning areas, pastoral care or education support services.

The 'Atelierista' is an individual with a background in education and creative arts. He or she works directly with classroom teachers, and also simultaneously with teachers and students, devising and facilitating learning experiences that compliment classroom curricular learning. Central to the role of Atelierista is ongoing documentation of student learning and communication of that data in different forms for both the professional benefit of teachers and the relational benefit of the wider school community.

An Atelier in a Reggio Emilia school encourages experimentation, intuition and spontaneous creativity. The wide variety of materials allows for free expression of ideas. The Atelier, along with other spaces in a Reggio Emilia school, invites children to invent, create and explore themselves through art. Hence the genesis of the atelier was coincidental with the genesis of a new educational project - systemic, secular, modern.

An atelier and atelierista have been present in each municipal preschool since the end of the s; they are an integral part of the Reggio Emilia Approach, in continuous dialogue with the other spaces and professional profiles in the schools. The culture of the atelier gives identity and shape to the educational project of Reggio Emilia, and to the philosophy of the languages.
