Children draw inspiration from the magical world of orientalist paintings by visiting the Intersecting Worlds: Ambassadors and Painters and Osman Hamdi Bey exhibitions with a guide. In the workshop, they imagine the unseen part of "The Tortoise Trainer" and transfer it onto paper using mixed techniques. Afterwards, with the help of the Journey into Osman Hamdi Bey's World – Virtual Reality Experience, the children step inside the painting. They then discuss the similarities and differences between what they've imagined and the digitally constructed space.
Capacity: 8 people

Fee per workshop: 200 TL

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
