ABSTRACT
The GYIK Workshop – Art Studio for Children and Youth, an innovative space for creative environmental education, was established 47 years ago. The development of spatial abilities has always been a central theme of their programmes. For the AMASS project, architects, landscape designers, artists, and educators of the GYIK Workshop developed an extensive teacher training programme that helped art teachers working with socially disadvantaged students to design and realise spatial skills enhancement programmes. In this richly illustrated study, the authors share their methodology and explain the effects of the creative tasks on the development of spatial perception and creation.
