Have you ever wondered why there are 60 seconds in a minute or 360 degrees in a circle? This is based on Babylonian mathematics written in Akkadian and Sumerian languages in cuneiform on clay tablets! The durable clay tablets are like a time travel machine, throwing the reader back thousands of years and allowing them to witness the curiosity and efforts of someone who lived many years ago. In the workshop, children traveling back in time are inspired by the replica clay tablet found in Kültepe at the exhibition titled The Art of Weights and Measures and write on clay tablets in cuneiform script.
Capacity: 10 people
Süre: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop:250 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.
A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
