Did you know that there are also fairy tales where princesses save princes, the hero does not fit into the norms of beauty, and we do not even have to know the gender of the heroes?
Inspired by Paula Rego, who produces a new discourse based on fairy tales and stories in her works, the participants look at fairy tales from a new perspective and set out to add new images to the horizon of their imagination. Using body percussion and drama in the narrative process, the children who go to the “Tale Island” together weave the tales with the associations formed in their imaginations. Returning from their imaginary journey to the “Tale Island”, the children create their own fairy tale books with pastel paints.

This life-size portrait of a girl is a fine example of the British art of portrait painting in the early 18th century. The child is shown posing on a terrace, which is enclosed at the right foreground by the plinth of a pillar; the background is mainly filled with trees and shrubs.
Based on similar examples by the European painters in various collections, this work is one of the portraits of Mihrimah Sultan, who was depicted rather often in the 16th century.
“A nameless Egyptian fresco, an African idol or a vase from Crete: we should behold Pirosmani’s art among them. Only this way it is possible to conceive it genuinely … …You see Pirosmani – you believe in Georgia”.
