Indefinite Patterns

School Groups
Primary School

Do you know about geometric shapes like triangles, squares or rounds? And how about creating new shapes and patterns? No form and complete freedom... With inspiration from The Rodina’s Map of Empathic Society, we create free and unrestricted abstract patterns without any defined lines or shapes. We scrape paint with colors of our own choice to form color and pattern designs on paper. This workshop combines imagination and creativity while improving hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Materials
A piece of cardboard (approx. 10x10 cm)
Watercolor paints

From two portraits of children…

The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation’s Orientalist Painting Collection includes two children’s portraits that are often featured in exhibitions on the second floor of the Pera Museum. These portraits both date back to the early 20th century, and were made four years apart. One depicts Prince Abdürrahim Efendi, son of Sultan Abdulhamid II, while the figure portrayed on the other is Nazlı, the daughter of Osman Hamdi Bey.

Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
