Pera Kids
Ages 9-12
Inspired by the animated video installations in In Search of Vera Molnár, participants design flipbooks, a technique used primarily in early animation, with drawings that continue with slight differences on each page and create the illusion of movement. In the workshop led by illustrator and graphic designer Ferhat Akbaba, participants learn the basic principles of animation. At the end of the process, each participant has their own 66-frame mini-animation story.
Instructor: Ferhat Akbaba
Capacity: 10 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum.
About Ferhat Akbaba
He graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University's Graphic Design Department and has been working freelance in animation and illustration for about ten years. Ferhat Akbaba, a member of the Canlandıranlar Animators Association, conducts workshops for adults and children on animation, illustration, and related subjects in various institutions and continues to produce in Istanbul.
Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
