We will draw inspiration from the Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York, as well as from the early Cubist landscapes of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. In their works, landscapes are transformed—from shapes, planes, lines, and colors—into compositions.
As we view works from the Collection, we will explore how artists deconstruct and reconstruct the image, and we will experiment with the technique of collage, which was a significant innovation of Cubism.

Through cutting, rearranging, and reassembling, we will create our own Cubist image and discover how a familiar landscape can change when we view it from multiple angles at the same time.

The museum highlights street art as an art form that can provide commentary on society, challenge the status quo, and spark dialogue. In this workshop, we’ll learn how to make a stencil and explore its connection to graffiti and the technique of screen printing. Next, we’ll experiment with shapes, colors, and repetitive motifs to create unique works of art. We’ll see how an image can take on different meanings depending on the message it conveys and the space in which it is displayed.

Our starting point will be the history of protest art and the social and political movements of the 1960s and 1970s, as presented in the “Fighting MoMA” digital archive of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Through examples of posters and printed material from the period, as well as works by artists and collectives such as Barbara Kruger, the Guerrilla Girls, Emory Douglas, Sister Corita Kent, and Ben Shahn, we will explore how images, words, and composition can create a powerful message and express a social or political stance.

We will then create our own posters using the technique of collage, experimenting with combinations of images and text to create a personal composition and convey our own message.

Armed with tools such as observation, imagination and personal expression, we will explore concepts such as volume, surface, light and reflection.

We will begin with a tour of the Museum’s permanent exhibition, where children will observe the simplicity and posture of the Cycladic figurines, and continue with an art workshop inspired by the artist Keith Haring’s dynamic lines and movement.

Through experiential activities, we will experiment with shapes and transition from static and abstract forms to expressive, moving figures.

This creative workshop is inspired by the timeless beauty of ancient Greek amphorae and their enduring decorative language. Together with young artists, we will design and construct our own paper amphorae, experimenting with shapes, colors, and patterns drawn from ancient Greek ornamentation. Through cutting, assembling, and decorating, children will transform simple paper vessels into vibrant, three-dimensional sculptures.

Using only scissors, paper, and plenty of imagination, participants will discover how everyday materials can be reinvented into expressive works of art. This workshop encourages creativity, experimentation, and confidence, showing children that artistic value does not depend on complex tools but on ideas and playful exploration. Each creation will be completely unique, reflecting the personality and vision of its maker.

The young artists will create their own motifs, transform them into three-dimensional structures inspired by Klippel, and ultimately compose small abstract “sculptures” that combine Greek classical tradition with contemporary art.

In this program, kids will tell stories through abstract forms, just as ancient Greek vases narrate myths through motifs… because storytelling does not always need figures and characters; it can be born solely from shapes, rhythms, and colors.

In this workshop we will discover ourselves and we will uncover our goals and dreams for the new year, through the Japanese art technique of “Notan” *.

*“Notan” is a Japanese word and suggests the harmony or balance between light and darkness in an artwork.

In the last years of her life, Louise created fabric designs full of color, memories, and love. Within them are hidden stories of her childhood as well as her mother’s, who always gave her strength and inspiration.

These beautiful works will also lead us on a festive creative adventure!

We will observe them, draw inspiration from their colors and shapes, and create three-dimensional figures from clay! With imagination, smiles, and a touch of Christmas magic, we will give form to our own symbols and create figures that “speak” of joy, love, and friendship!

In this workshop we reflect on our relationship with others, and we will create our own painting “harmonious coexistence.”
