Pera Kids
Ages 4-6
One day, the chess pieces came to life and created their own country! But the inhabitants of the Land of Pawns were a little outnumbered and needed new ones!
In this workshop, children visit Marcel Dzama: Dancing with The Moon, full of colorful characters and fairy tale heroes, and discover the artist's sculptures inspired by chess pieces. Then, they use their imagination to design new pawns for the Land of Pawns. Children make their big pawns with colorful styrofoam pieces and complete their designs by painting the heroes of this fun adventure and using various decoration materials.
