Lyrical or Geometric?

November 15, 2024 | Friday, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM

What does abstract painting mean? What is the difference between lyrical abstract and geometric abstract painting?

The program focuses on abstract paintings, where artists express their emotions and ideas through colors and shapes without the concern of resembling any familiar objects or figures. After a short presentation on the history of abstract painting, children interpret and compare abstract works in the museum's collection. In the workshop, children complete the program by creating lyrical and geometric abstract artworks that differentiate through their production techniques.
