Children’s workshops

As part of Knowledge Days:
The Magic of Perspective
January 24, 2026
9:30–11:30 a.m., for children aged 6 to 12
Imagine a simple house or street on paper suddenly appearing three-dimensional and alive. In this workshop, children will playfully discover how artists use lines, angles, and little tricks to create depth and distance. Simple shapes are transformed into rooms, streets, or even entire dreamscapes that look more and more exciting. Together, we learn how our eyes see the world and how to transform this “seeing” into an image. The aim is not to make everything perfect, but to discover, try things out, and be amazed. Whether it’s a city, a fantasy world, or a favorite place, each child develops their own image with their own personal touch.
Colors and Shadows Adventure
February 21, 2026
9:30–11:30 a.m., for children ages 6 to 12
Colors are everywhere; they make the world lively, cheerful, and exciting. In this workshop, children embark on a creative journey through the colorful world of colors. Along the way, they will learn how light and shadow work and how shades can be used to create moods. Through playful experiments, we will see how colors change each other and sometimes produce surprising results. With brushes, imagination, and lots of joy, the children will create their own works of art that express their feelings and ideas. At the end, everyone will hold a colorful picture in their hands—a small work of art full of light, energy, and personality.
