CREATION AND TRANSFORMATION
Content :
Do you like to see artistic transformations? In this workshop, we would start from an object and transform it into something completely different, through a mysterious process! In this workshop, we will focus on the changes in nature but also on the techniques of change between the initial product and the final product. We will play with tie-dye, but also with drawings of plants in multiple states, fabric dyeing, shrinky-dink, and more.
Note that the workshops are in French but are open to children in immersion.
Schedule:
Week 1 – “Resist” drawings with black watercolor and “pencils”, drawing the plant
