Learning With the Goats

Where art meets chaos, English homework, and two creatures who should absolutely not be teaching.

What Is “Learning With the Goats”?

“Learning With the Goats” is a special extra activity inside my regular English classes with vocational students in Turin.
The official programme does not change: students still learn all the grammar, vocabulary, salon terminology, and communication skills required for their exam and professional path.

From time to time, we add something extra — a short moment where we look at an artwork, describe what we feel, write a reaction, or discuss colours and emotions in English.

Why?
Because language isn’t only textbooks and exercises, It’s expression, identity, humour, and learning how to describe the world around us.

These small “art moments” help students:

• speak more naturally

• use English creatively

• practise real communication

• improve writing and emotional vocabulary

• build confidence

• and engage with culture in a simple, accessible way

This project is a personal initiative by Alex Lugli (Queen Goat) and Move In Colors, designed to enrich lessons — not replace them.
It brings contemporary art into the classroom in a way that is light, fun, and meaningful for students who rarely get space to express themselves.

Artwork of the Week

HIDDEN BEAUTY
Susie Leff — California
Digital photography
This artwork is all about the kind of beauty you don’t find in magazines.
Susie Leff shows a moment that’s raw, real, and deeply human, the kind of image that makes you pause because it feels honest.
It’s beauty without filters — and that’s what makes it strong.
