Creative sessions for Kids
Kids is a project that introduces families and children to contemporary art with instruments and ideas that arouse curiosity and an understanding of the thoughts and techniques of today’s artists, through materials and experiences that are new and different every time.
The activities, designed to be experienced from home, allow participants to explore the temporary exhibitions “Short-circuits” by Chen Zhen, “the eye, the eye and the ear” by Trisha Baga and the permanent installation The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015 by Anselm Kiefer thanks to the Street View of Google Arts & Culture.
The creative sessions are enriched with contributions to discover the imaginary of artists and transform children into young art explorers.
