On weekends…children and parents at the Museum!

During the most festive month of the year, parents and children shake up the Museum by dancing to a dance that has thrilled the world this last year. The rhythm comes from South Africa and guides their steps. The geometric shapes of African art will be the source of inspiration for our Christmas frames. Parents and children cut, glue, paint, and print to create original works of art using the technique of collagraphy. The works of art produced will turn into frames, cards, and Christmas wishes that will fill our workshop with joy. Parents and children will be transported by the magical process of printing and will witness a little miracle unfolding in front of their eyes.

Join us and enjoy the warmth of dances and colours!

 P.S: Children and parents, please feel free to wear comfortable and casual clothing and be prepared to get messy, as we will get messy!

Raven Child and the Snow Witch by Linda Sunderland and Daniel Egneus, Martis Publications

“The Snow Garden is a safe place for little Anya, far away from the dangers of the frozen wilderness surrounding her. However, a treacherous creature lives underneath the icy glacier. When the creature wakes up from a deep sleep of 1,000 years, she casts her frozen magic spells on the heart of the Snow Garden. Anya and her father set off on a dangerous journey to rescue the person they love the most.”

In our Christmas workshop, we follow Anya and her father in a journey to the frozen North. We let ourselves be charmed by the images of this book by Linda Sunderland and Daniel Egneus. Raven Child and the Snow Witch will fill our minds with images that inspire us to produce our own fairytales with the technique of collage and painting. Magazine pages and colourful sheets take the place of colours and paints to put the finishing touches on these works of art. Toward the end of the workshop, parents will collaborate with their children and write texts using a brush…

We wholeheartedly invite you to walk by our side toward the frozen North.

P.S: Children and parents, please feel free to wear comfortable and casual clothing and be prepared to get messy, as we will get messy!

Ai Weiwei

(repetition of the same workshop)

For Ai Weiwei, sunflower seeds are a relaxing snack people share with friends, the same way they do with feelings and dreams. It comes from a flower that is always turned toward the sun, a symbol of unity, hope, and warmth. The result? The creation of mounds made out of a hundred thousand naturally grown sunflower seeds.

Join us to share some sunflower seeds!

Let’s create our own mounds that, deep down, would love to be sunflower seeds!

This workshop will start with a short introduction to the works of the artist and a detailed description of the work of art Sunflower Seeds.

Following that, we will construct our own mounds from clay and will cover them with sunflower seeds.

P.S: Children and parents, please feel free to wear comfortable and casual clothing and be prepared to get messy, as we will get messy!

A snowstorm is coming to the Museum!

Saturday, December 11, 11:00-13:00

In this workshop, we will create a kinetic winter landscape and will hear the melody of snow as our snowflakes balance!

According to Alexander Calder, his works of art are kinetic sculptures that urge you to follow them and hear their “melody.” Based on his work titled Snow Flurry I (1948), we will create our own kinetic sculptures, reminiscing about a real snowstorm and filling the Museum with holiday magic!

P.S.: Children should wear comfortable, casual clothing and be prepared to get messy, because we will definitely get messy!

The workshop is held without parental accompaniment, in Greek, but can also be attended by English-speaking children.
