Creativity Lab: Pop Factory

Families

General Public

Museum Members

In this creativity lab, we will follow in the footsteps of artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, inspired by their bright colors, their use of repetition, and the techniques of Pop Art. The use of templates in Warhol’s fashion will enable us to play with the visual elements, laying them out in different series and combinations. This will show us how a single image can take on multiple meanings through color, composition, and creative repetition.
Conducted by: Aitziber Aguirre, Mónica Martínez
Sunday, January 18 (Basque) and Saturday 31 (Spanish)
Duration: 90 min.

Art Adventures: Cut out, Discover, Transform

In this workshop, we will look to artists like Lucio Fontana, Antoni Tàpies, and Eduardo Chillida for inspiration. They all slashed, punctured, or scraped off their works in their experimentation with space, to see what was beyond the work itself.
In our own works, we will make holes or cut out windows to see how light floods the space. We will also add materials, one on top of another, to grasp how shapes and colors change with them. Through enquiry and discovery, we will learn that holes, scratches, and void can also be part of a work of art.

Digital Image Workshops: Animation with Pika-Pika

Let’s take photographs of light drawings to make an animation video using the pika-pika technique! Pika-pika is a Japanese onomatopoeia for something that is shiny, sparkling, or gleaming. It refers to a technique used to generate moving images by drawing with torches in the dark.
Taking inspiration from artists Jenny Holzer and Lucio Fontana, you will tell your own stories with abstract elements and moving letters that appear between frames. Even if you have never drawn before, you can create animations with this method that anyone can use. You can’t go wrong!

Baby Art: Playing with Light and Air

Surrounded by stimuli and playing games, babies and their families interact as they explore the galleries of the Museum. This season, the program will take inspiration from the works of Jenny Holzer and Mark Leckey shown in the Museum to offer a sensory journey that weaves together art, lights, and air – an immersive experience where babies can move freely around and explore materials that will spark their curiosity and awaken their senses. We will play with colors that change with the light, adding air to the mix.

The idea is to focus, experiment, and find new ways of looking at and recording the world around you with the help of photography.

Books Alive! Little Dots  

Visiting Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. Anatomy of Space, we will see how the artist uses lines and colors to create fascinating labyrinth-like spaces in her paintings. We will also listen to a delightful story, The Dot, whose main character develops their own artistic style starting from a single dot. Together, we will see how a simple dot can grow into something much larger and amazing — and, by connecting dots, we will draw lines, shapes, and compositions of our own. This activity invites us to spark our imagination, share our creative process, and explore new forms of artistic expression.

Sensory Games: Feel, Play, Create 
Saturday, February 14
Using our senses, we will cross the bridge that links the past and the present, discovering magical worlds and new ways of looking at the things around us. Taking a look at Mark Leckey’s installation, we will try to identify the feelings that the city that “stood in its brightness” kindles in us. We will be surrounded by sound, in a tale where each of us is the main character. Action, imagination, and fun will come together to offer a highly personal view of the city.
Our sensory games are designed to get every family member involved, working together in a meaningful, rewarding experience.

Art &amp; Music: Graphic Scores 
Sunday, February 15
In this workshop, you will make and perform your own graphic scores – the representation of music through the use of visual symbols outside the realm of traditional music notation. The symbols can be lines, shapes, colors, drawings, or other forms of representation that are capable of expressing beat and pitch. In graphic scores you use your imagination to make music based on images – a unique way of expressing emotions and ideas in music. The workshop brings together different artistic languages – music, visual arts, and performing arts –, giving families the chance to experience music in a transdisciplinary, imaginative, and unconventional way, beyond mere reproduction.
Conducted by: Adria Parravicini
Art &amp; Movement: Drawing with Your Body 
Sunday, February 22
Step into a world where drawing and movement come alive together! In Art &amp; Movement, you will be creating art with your whole body, not just drawing with your hand. Jump, roll, dance, wander around, and laugh as you see how your physical actions shape the marks you make—and how your strokes inspire movement.
Warning! This playful session is likely to spark lots of excitement and peals of laughter! No drawing or dancing skills? No problem!
You can join solo, with a friend, or as a family. Inspired by the research done by Simona Lobefaro and Alessandro Lumare (Segni Mossi), this activity is all about exploring the connections between drawing and movement, usually considered as distinct, unconnected languages.
