Puppets at the Exhibition

Families of 4-6 year-olds

The workshop gives families tips on how to tour the museum together using play. The program is centered around families examining the works of art together and on having them create artworks through puppet play. The program begins with a drama game developed specifically for the workshop and focusing on the concept of space. Following this drama game, the families follow clues to find figurative paintings in the exhibition tour. They reflect on the works in terms of the relationship between figure and space. After returning to the studio, drawing inspiration from the works of art, they create puppets as well as small stages for these puppets. They complete the program by sharing their designs with each other.
