Wooden Figures: Character Design

Pera Kids
Ages 9-12

  • July 20, 2024 / 13:30

Children who visit Intersecting Worlds travel across the meandering paths of diplomatic history under the guidance of art. In the workshop, they use their imagination to create brand new characters inspired by the characters they see in the paintings in the exhibition. Children bring the characters in the stories they imagine to life by painting them on wooden pawns of different sizes, and at the same time, they look for ways to solve the problems these characters face in the story.

Instructor: Sinan Kadife
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

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