Saturday12.10.2024: Tributes in pictures - Inspired by artist Lajos Kassak
Hungarian painter and writer Lajos Kassak expresses his admiration for the Cubist artist in his work Hommage à Picasso, in his memory. Inspired by the constructivist artist's compositions, participants explore photocollage and graphic design to create a portrait of a person or character they particularly like or admire.
Saturday 16.11.2024: On my planet - Inspired by Ilya Chashnik
After viewing abstract compositions by Russian artist Ilya Chashnik, one of which is entitled Cosmos, participants represent their vision of the universe, real or imaginary: planets, cosmic elements and orbiting accessories. Using pencils, pens, paint and oil pastels, they explore concentric geometric shapes, volumes and colors emblematic of early 20th-century Constructivist art.
Saturday 30.11.2024: Le cabinet d'abstraction - Inspired by El Lissitzky
Children discover a famous constructivist work entitled The Abstract Cabinet. Designed in collaboration by artist El Lissitzky and curator Alexander Dorner, this abstract cabinet was installed in Hannover's Landesmuseum in 1927, destroyed in 1936 and then reconstructed in 1969 at the Sprengel Museum. Children are inspired by this modern architecture to imagine their own 3D abstract cabinet. To do so, they create a large-format pop-up card in which they activate games of abstraction, color, symmetry and dissymmetry, and mirror effects.
Saturday 14.12.2024: Words that click - Inspired by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and El Lissitzky
The 1920s opened up new perspectives in the graphic arts: photomontage, elementary typography and new typography. The artists Moholy-Nagy and El Lissitzky, who worked together, helped translate the "optical mood" of the time. Creations and ideas spread through magazines, exhibitions and posters! "The poster is above all a word", said the French graphic artist nicknamed Cassandre. After discussing how the typography of the interwar period continues to influence visual communication today, participants will take up this specific visual language and create an original poster based on a word of their choice.
