12-13 May 8-12 age group

Quota:15

In this workshop, we invite the leading artists of art history to Mardin (Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Jackson Pollock, Piet Mondrian) We try to understand the artist and his/her art, and to make them live. At the same time, we aim to support the development areas of the children who will participate in the workshop, to increase their creativity, to adapt to the world culture they are in, to understand themselves and others, and to integrate their past and present. We transform art from a result-orientated process that is only produced, must be liked, has a concern for beauty, to a process where they can freely express themselves by understanding each other's feelings without worrying about being liked, and where they can draw inspiration from their own lives and environment.
