Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
Children are inspired by Gizella Rákóczy's watercolors, in which the same color is layered in different numbers and the resulting light and dark tones diversify the compositions. After examining these layered works, which intersect with each other to create new colors, the children design a cylindrical lamp by gluing colored transparent papers on top of each other in various ways. At the end of the workshop, children experience the surprise colors emitted by their lamps by placing electronic candles inside their designs.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
