ABOUT THE ART CLUB

For Children in the 1st to 8th grade.

The Art Club introduces children to contemporary art in a fun and accessible way. Here, we explore what contemporary art is, and what kind of experiences and tools we can bring from art into our everyday lives.

The children will meet and work with professional artists, and get to explore our exhibitions together with our skilled educators. At the end of each semester we organise an exhibition for family and friends.

During the fall 2024 semester, we will work with humour as a way to trigger happiness and laughter, and look at how it can be a tool to come together and creating community. Humour can also be a safe way to enter into difficult discussions and process complicated emotions. Together we will look at how humour can create friendships, positive changes in

DATES

25 August: Vibeke Andersen
For the first Art Club of the semester, we will be exploring blind contour portrait drawings. The result is often humorous, playful and challenges observation skills – something anyone can enjoy. After a few sketches, the participants will pick their favourite to transfer onto thicker paper. The lines will be enhanced with markers and areas of the drawing will be sewn.

22 September: Al Greenall
Sometimes it is a bit hard to understand our own emotions, and even harder to explain them to others. For this workshop with Al Greenall, we will create a fun "emotion monster" mask that will express our feelings without using words. This workshop is all about joy and how we express ourselves amidst the sea of emotions inside us all!

27 October: Bård Bjørknes
Together with actor and director, Bård Bjerknes, we will create a puppet theatre! The result will be a fun and engaging puppet show. We will begin the workshop by making our own puppets and then create a script that will be performed. Bård believes that puppet theatre is perfect for the youngest, but there’s plenty of evidence that it can be just as fitting for adults and teens alike.

24 November: Marie Kallevik Straume

15 December: Exhibition for family and friends curated by Helga Nyman
