Artistic workshops

For students: the museum comes to your school

Workshops on the childhood and techniques of famous artists

example: Pablo Picasso and the birth of cubism

 

We offer workshops for students from kindergarten to middle school.

These workshops start with a discussion of the artist’s childhood, then we talk about his style, his work and finally we finish by creating art, putting into practice the techniques used by the artist.

In the case of Pablo Picasso we will discuss the concept of Cubism and learn about the evolution of his style throughout his life.
