Journey From Photography to Costume: Costume Workshop

Pera Enabled

  • February 7, 2020 / 18:00

How about changing our appearance with costumes? And how about capturing that moment? In this fun workshop, we will try on various costumes, take photos and get our photos taken. The participants will create costumes with various garments and materials such as wigs, hats, moustaches and cloaks, and pose in front of the camera. We will project onto the photos the emotions created by these costumes by means of facial expressions, and this new character by means of body language. We will enhance our creativity through drama work, and then transfer onto paper the character that we have created and photographed, with colored pencils, paint and recycled materials.

Learning Program Days and Hours:
Tuesday, 10:30 - 12:00 and 12:30 - 14:00
Wednesday, 10:30 - 12:00 and 12:30 - 14:00

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Pera Museum invites artist Benoît Hamet to reinterpret key pieces from its collections, casting a humourous eye over ‘historical’ events, both imagined and factual.

Mosques in the 18th and 19th Century Paintings

In the works of western painters, we encounter mosques as the primary architectural elements that reflect the identity of the city of Istanbul. Often we can recognize the depicted landscape as Istanbul simply from the mosques.
