Reflected Colors through the Magical Window

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • November 14, 2024 / 13:30

After visiting Calculations and Coincidences with a guide, children learn about the concepts of transparent, translucent, and opaque. Then, on the transparent surface, they assemble colorful geometric shapes in an order they have determined and make additions with acetate pens. The compositions created by the children turn into magical paintings that are reflected around with the effect of light on materials with different permeability and various colors.

Instructor: Anna Karayorgi
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).
