More informations

The school holiday workshops are back with a programme highly diverse, always in line with the themes worked upon in the projects of the guest trainers. The same aim cuts across all of the workshops: to learn about and work with the various artistic expressions and, above all, to come into contact with the contemporary arts and develop a critical sense about them. It is also an opportunity to make contact with some of the artists who work on Culturgest’s programming for families and schools and to learn with them.

ILLUSTRATION, PHOTOGRAPHY AND SHADOW DRAWING

The multifaceted artist Nuno Bernardo proposes writing a story: how would we like the world to be? Based on each participant’s imagination, we build a giant book in which they themselves become the life-size illustrations.

MOVEMENT AND PAITING

Patrícia Freire brings an engraving press for each participant to make their own stencil. They can use metal plates, linoleum, cardboard, rollers, and, above all, lots of imagination. After printing, their stencils will be gathered together in a collection.
