A Forest of Ink

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • August 20, 2021 / 14:00

Ink is a liquid material made of several coloring agents or dyes! It is a very easy-to-use material that needs to be handled with care. We can use it to paint a surface or write with a brush or pen. Drawing inspiration from Etel Adnan’s works that revolve around seasons, landscapes, and signs and pave the way for extensive discovery and interpretation, we blow inks through drinking straws and spread the ink across the paper to shape them as trees. The workshop is an opportunity to experience concepts such as depth, light and shadow in a painting.

Chlebowski’s Sultan

Chlebowski’s Sultan

This is one of Stanisław Chlebowski’s larger canvasses dealing with themes other than battles; only Ottoman Life at the Sweet Waters now at the Istanbul Military Museum can compare with it in size.

The Captive Sultan

The Captive Sultan

The war fought by the Greeks to shake off the Turkish yoke was closely observed around Europe and, this being the era of romanticism, the events taking place around Greece between 1821 and 1832 became a symbol for national liberation struggle.

At The Well

At The Well

Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life.
