On October 22 the children from the Art Club will work with artist Elisabet Midtbø.
Who decides what our surroundings look like? This semester we will explore how we can take part in shaping our own surroundings. Everything that is built around us has been shaped by someone. Can we who live in and around the city take part in impacting how our surroundings look? How can we speak up about how we want things to be around us?
ABOUT THE ART CLUB
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.
Elisabet Midtbø is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, writer and composer. They are currently interested in and exploring genuine expression and storytelling through music, particularly as a disabled artist. Elisabet has studied Norwegian traditional folk music and is particularly interested in the music of the Rogaland Region. However, they also like to bring elements such as loose rhythms and the microtonality of the tradition into more contemporary works with a darker expressionistic twist.
