Children's activity inspired by Roldán and Klimt

An educational activity for children combines Gustavo Roldán's picture book "Il signor G." with Gustav Klimt's mosaic "The Tree of Life" at Palais Stoclet in Belgium. The book tells of a man who plants a flower bulb in a silent desert village, eventually bringing life and music. Klimt's 200×700 cm mosaic, created between 1905 and 1909, features a tree with intertwining branches and geometric ornaments on white marble with copper, silver, gold leaf, hard stone, coral, and colored majolica. The activity involves reading the book aloud, showing children an image of Klimt's work, discussing similarities and differences, and having them draw their own tree on A3 paper with markers. The article emphasizes the value of linking literature and painting to stimulate children's imagination.
