St. Mark’s Square Venice at the “Creature di Gomma” Museum
St. Mark’s Square Venice Displayed at the “Creature di Gomma” Museum A world record of LEGO bricks and 8 months of work: the diorama by Maurizio Lampis officially inaugurated in Venice. The beauty and majesty of St. Mark’s Square in Venice have been recreated with a world record of 170,000 LEGO bricks. The work, created by the Brick Builder and president of the Karalisbrick Brick Museum, Maurizio Lampis, took eight months to complete and weighs about 90 kg. The diorama of St. Mark’s Square was presented at the Creature di Gomma-Venice Vintage Toys Museum in Venice, with the participation of the Tourism Councillor Simone Venturini and the president of the Municipality of Venice Murano Burano, Marco Borghi. The work was sponsored by the Municipality of Venice and represents a new and original way to communicate the beauty of the city to a new audience. The reproduction was created with great attention to detail, featuring about 200 minifigures and 50 animals. The three procuratie with the bell tower and St. Mark’s Basilica with its famous five domes are faithfully reproduced. In front of the Basilica are the nine mosaics that distinguish it, printed on the bricks using professional photographic paper and a UV printer. Maurizio Lampis described the work in detail, emphasizing that the reproduction should be a Guinness World Record for a private individual, the largest of its kind in the world. The work measures 270×105 cm and is 238 cm tall at its highest point, represented by the Archangel Gabriel. Additionally, the famous bars that fill the square with the classic pavement mosaics have been reproduced in detail. The diorama of St. Mark’s Square represents a unique opportunity to engage children in discussions about the beauty of creativity and encourage a return to traditional play and building with one’s hands. It is an extraordinary work that demonstrates attention and passion for creativity and manual work. A record-breaking achievement that helps promote the beauty of the city of Venice and the culture of building with LEGO bricks.
Development of Creativity in Early Childhood
Development of Creativity in Early Childhood How to Develop Creativity in Children with LEGO How can we develop creativity in children? This is a question that many researchers have tried to answer over the years. Creativity is a skill that can be defined in many ways, but experts are still unable to measure it precisely. However, there are certain behaviors considered indicative of creativity, such as critical and divergent thinking, fluency in speaking, the ability to notice differences, and originality. Developing these skills can have a significant impact on education. To (re)awaken creativity in children, many researchers suggest using approaches such as experimentation, developing one’s voice, creating a vision, and practical thinking. All these methods are spontaneously practiced by children through play. Imagination, mental flexibility, and experimentation develop creativity and the strategies needed to successfully tackle new and sudden problems. If you want to encourage the development of these skills in your children, LEGO bricks are undoubtedly the best choice to start with. This way, they can develop their creativity, imagination, problem-solving skills, creativity, and social skills in a fun and educational way. Developing Creativity in Children with LEGO In this context, construction games like LEGO can be a great source of fun for children, but not only that. In fact, LEGO can offer a range of benefits for children’s creativity. IMAGINATION LEGO encourages the construction of mental images. As children build their creations with LEGO, they must imagine how all the pieces will fit together to form the final image. This mental construction process helps develop children’s imagination and creativity. PROBLEM SOLVING LEGO encourages problem-solving. Children must find solutions to fit the pieces together and create a stable structure. This problem-solving process helps develop children’s logical and critical thinking skills. CREATIVITY LEGO encourages creativity. Children can create anything they want with LEGO, from houses to spaceships, cars to imaginary creatures. This creative freedom encourages children to think outside the box and develop their creativity. SOCIALITY Playing with LEGO is a fun and social activity. Children can share their projects with friends and family or work together to create larger constructions. This encourages communication and collaboration, which are important for children’s social and emotional development.
