Reflected Colors through the Magical Window

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • November 14, 2024 / 13:30

After visiting Calculations and Coincidences with a guide, children learn about the concepts of transparent, translucent, and opaque. Then, on the transparent surface, they assemble colorful geometric shapes in an order they have determined and make additions with acetate pens. The compositions created by the children turn into magical paintings that are reflected around with the effect of light on materials with different permeability and various colors.

Instructor: Anna Karayorgi
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Reminiscences of Motifs

Reminiscences of Motifs

As artisanship became a part of artistic practices with the blurring of art and craft, the use of traditional motifs has also flourished. In this context, how are these motifs currently structured or designed beyond their traditional connotations? 

Memory of Objects

Memory of Objects

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.
