Exploration tour:
After viewing a short film about Gal the Dwarf and his favourite works of art we explore the gallery. Interesting stories about a brave knight, beautiful ladies and mischievous children accompany the exploration. In front of the paintings we also express the mood of the seasons in song and dance.
After the tour the children are encouraged to draw their favourite painting at home or in kindergarten and to send their creations to Gal the Dwarf (National Gallery of Slovenia – for Gal, Puharjeva 9, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia). Gal is always very happy to receive children's drawings and paintings. He thanks the children with a letter and on occasion he helps to prepare an exhibition of their works.
Resources for teachers:
We recommend that before the visit to the gallery teachers read Gal's book with children and motivate them for the experience.
