Wednesday09.10.2024: Opening up the world - inspired by artist Gustav Klucis
Gustav Klucis is a Latvian painter who also practiced photo-collage. This workshop introduces children to this technique and the many possibilities it offers. By cutting out a set of elements from carefully selected magazines, they work from the oval shape observed during their visit, while giving free rein to their imagination. Eye, porthole, screen, telescope lens: the creations appear as small openings onto their inner world.
Wednesday 13.11.2024 : My museum from the sky - Inspired by artist Lajos Von Ebneth
During their visit to the exhibition, the children have a sensory experience of a three-dimensional space. During the workshop that follows, the Little Fans apprehend the planar vision of this same space, as seen from the sky. Inspired by paintings by Hungarian artist Lajos d'Ebneth, they explore various geometric shapes. Using cut-outs and assemblages, stamps and stencils, they transform this space into a surprising abstract painting.
Wednesday 27.11.2024: The Square of Myself - Inspired by Kasimir Malevich
Petits Fans are invited to compose a self-portrait based on the shape of a square, so beloved of Suprematist artist Kasimir Malevich. To do this, they assemble squares of different sizes, colors and textures, according to different scales. Through the choice of these distinct elements, children grasp the symbolic dimension of self-representation. They are invited to detach themselves from a realistic approach in favor of an abstract vision of the body.
Wednesday 11.12.2024: From shape to volume - Shape/Form
In English, the word "shape" means "form" and "form" is the volume corresponding to this same form. In this workshop, the Petits Fans explore the transition from shape to volume by observing and manipulating objects. After identifying and observing the circles, spheres and cylinders on display in the permanent and temporary exhibitions, they create origami paper balls as little planets to decorate their homes or Christmas trees during the festive season.
