International Kids’ Art Contest 2024
EDUCATION
FEBRUARY 15 UNTIL APRIL 22, 2024
THE CONTEST
The 11th International Kids’ Art Contest by the Museum of Cycladic Art has the title “Today’s stories on ancient vases“ and invites our little friends aged 4-15 to draw images of their everyday lives that they would like to leave as a personal footprint to future generations.
This year, through the Art Contest, we explore the permanent exhibition “Scenes from Daily Life in Antiquity” located on the 4th floor of the Museum of Cycladic Art. As we explore various themes and objects exhibited, we learn about the private and public life of ancient people in Classical and Hellenistic Greece.
One of today’s richest sources of information about antiquity is the painted clay vases. Since prehistoric times, people depict on these vases images of their everyday lives and scenes from mythology. Today, we find similar images mainly through internet and social media.
