Paper Shadow Design

Preschool

Face-to-Face

What is the mysterious part of us that is only visible when there is light? Inspired by artist Rashad Alakbarov’s work placing light and shadow as its core elements, we will explore the shadows cast by various objects. On a piece of paper, we will draw the outline of the shadows projected by a toy or any other object, and then cut the outline and glue it to another piece of paper. The workshop will help develop fine motor skills, while also enhancing the understanding of the cause and effect through the discussion of the projection of shadows.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

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.

The First Nudes

The First Nudes

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’.
