Workshop for Teachers: Reading a Painting

Teachers

  • November 14, 2024 / 16:00

Every painting has a message to convey. Paintings hold multiple layers of meaning, including the artist's thoughts, emotions, historical events, or ideas related to a subject. In this workshop, teachers will acquire knowledge of visual literacy - one way to be present in the moment. While exploring various works in the museum, they will learn the distinction between simply looking and truly seeing. Through this experience, they will gain the ability to view from different perspectives, develop empathy and connection, and appreciate the creativity and potential of humanity.

Instructor: Umut Sungur
Capacity: 15 people
Duration: 90 minutes

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
The event is free of charge, reservation is required.

Postcard Nudes

Postcard Nudes

The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
