Books Alive! Color Revolution 

This activity combining reading, play, and art has its starting point in a most inspiring story. This time, you will be invited to find out why paintings go mutinous and, careful not to hurt anybody’s feelings, set the revolution of color in motion. Are you ready to join them in this topsy-turvy adventure where things go wild and embrace chaos in the absence of logic? The world of art is turned upside down when the usual colors of things change and the emotions associated with them get adjusted in a thousand possible ways.
Duration: 120 min 
Ages: 6-11

ART Space: Art Adventures: Instructions to Make a Great Work

The ART Space delivers experiences in discovery and creation for the whole family, where the activities are conducted by an artist. This month, participants will have to follow a set of simple instructions on shapes and colors, lines and sizes, to reinterpret a work of art, thus turning the creative process into a fun game. Based on some of the Museum Collection’s large-format works, like Sol LeWitt’s wall drawing, they will have to think of answers for questions such as, “What colors would you use in a wall painting like this one?”, “How would you use lines in your drawing?”, and so on.

ART Space: Creativity Lab: Frame and Blur

In this month’s creativity lab, you will be inspired by the works of Gerhard Richter, Thomas Struth, and other artists to explore framing and blurring techniques – both with a camera and with your eyes. Can you identify the “blurriest” work in the Museum’s Collection? Explore the Collection to find it and then make your own experiment, choosing your frame, focus, and point of view. You will learn a few tricks, like how to drag an image onto a photo to alter reality. The effects will be surprising!

Drawing requires taking a closer look at things. It helps us retrace our steps, look, and look again. Drawing is a means of expression. It is a pleasant activity for amateurs, a discipline for pros, and often, for many artists, the starting point of the creative process.
This course will help you understand what is drawing and what it is used for, as you explore the various types of drawings, and learn how artists draw and what they use drawing for. In this second term, participants will play drawing games in which they will have to use the sense of touch, find shadows, retrace footprints, explore points of view, and many other things.
Although the Lab is conceived of as a series of progressive workshops to unfold from January to March, individual workshops can be attended too, subject to availability.
Second term: January 21 to March 18
January 21: Drawing, Thinking by Doing 
January 28: Getting Closer, Taking Distance 
February 4: Seeing with Your Hands 
February 11: Adding Images 
February 18: Done, Undone (Geometric Shapes and Proportion)

Books Alive! for families: Slow Down

This activity was designed for the discovery of the gift of being calm. It will be an opportunity to slow down and take a look at some of the Museum’s amazing works of art, and to listen to wonderful stories in English in the Library. The idea is to take a deep breath and pay attention to those tiny details that tend to go unnoticed. A close look at the artworks will reveal the most fascinating features. There will be games to boost concentration too – counting steps, counting breaths, etc. – and painting activities to use the whole body.
