WORLDS THAT MEET

visites comentadesSummer art workshop for children aged 6 to 12

30.06 to 02.07.26
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

INTRODUCTION

Based upon the universes suggested by the ART + SCHOOL + CONTACT exhibition, ACVIC proposes a short journey of artistic experimentation in which contact becomes central; contact with the body, with others, with objects, and with space.

“Contacting is letting the world touch us and, at the same time, learning to touch it in a different way.”

During the art workshop, participants will use postcards of artistic references as inspiration to learn various perspectives on what “contacting” really means.

CONTENTS

Day 1 — Contact with the body
Based upon the artworks of Marina Abramović and Jordi Benito, participants will explore body,  movement, and gaze. Through small actions, sounds, and games of connection, participants will discover how we connect with others and with materials.

Day 2 — Messages that Travel
Inspired by John Berger, John Christie and Helena Almeida, participants will experiment with letters, paper aeroplanes, and transformed messages. They will play with words, textures, and footprints to create new ways of communicating.

Day 3 — Transforming Space
Based upon works by Judith Scott, Yayoi Kusama and Hedvig Aström Kushner,  participants will transform a space into a large collective installation. Using wool, stickers, food, and other materials, participants will create a living place to play, build, and interact.

Requeriments
Participants should bring breakfast, and an apron or comfortable clothes as activities can get messy. In this workshop participants will work with paint and other materials.

Educators
Xènia Canal and Núria Valls, members of the ACVIC educational team.

About the workshop

The exhibition ART + SCHOOL + CONTACT is the starting point for this workshop.

Children will try different art activities. They will explore contact with their bodies, other people, objects and the space around them.

“Contact means letting the world touch us. It also means learning to touch the world in a new way.”

Children will look at postcards showing works of art. These postcards will help them explore what contact means in different ways.

What we will do

Day 1: Contact with the body

Children will look at works by Marina Abramović and Jordi Benito. They will explore their bodies, movement and looking at others.

They will try simple actions, sounds and games. They will explore how we connect with other people and materials.

Day 2: Messages that travel

Children will look at works by John Berger, John Christie and Helena Almeida.

They will use letters and paper aeroplanes to send messages. They will change the messages and play with words, textures and footprints. They will find new ways to communicate.

Day 3: Changing a space

Children will look at works by Judith Scott, Yayoi Kusama and Hedvig Aström Kushner.
