LesArt develops creative models for literary-aesthetic education using all the arts and media. These models are based on the experiences that children and young people make in their own lives and when reading or looking at pictures.
Which aesthetic signals in books appeal to children? What space is provided by text or by pictures for encounters and transitions between aesthetic and real worlds? Which items, words, pictures, noises, smells, spaces or situations remind us of stories or could lead us to them?
Can these stories be told in your own words, pictures or games? Can collages, photographs, poems, stories, songs, pantomime, posters, puppets, sculptures, scenes, talk shows, plays, cartoons ... newspapers be used?
The more complex a literary text is, the richer the aesthetic material it provides. Literary quality is guaranteed by the books which have been shortlisted for or have been awarded the German youth literature prize. LesArt uses these books as a reliable source.
LesArt, as the Berlin »Centre« for Children's and Youth Literature, is coordinator and partner for joint ventures for activities concerning children's and youth literature in Berlin, Germany and elsewhere. As such, LesArt initiates and networks event structures for children, young people and adults in Berlin outside of their own location, throughout Germany and also in other countries.
