🧡 We invite you to Zuzeum children’s art workshops for kids of all ages. The theme of the class and materials change each Sunday at 11:15 AM.
Children’s art is an exciting adventure, a valuable learning experience, and, most importantly, a way to express their feelings and emotions. Creative activities reflect a child’s inner world and help shape it. Our primary goal is to allow children to explore and unleash their creative potential. We offer various themes and materials, with classes in multiple spaces—from exhibition halls to art studios with beautiful and inspiring interiors.
In our classes, children do more than draw. We show them that art can be multifaceted: abstract, realistic, flat, or three-dimensional. Since our sessions are held in an art center, children can engage with exhibitions, learn about local and international artists, and, inspired by the works of professionals, create their masterpieces.
Upcoming workshops
📅 deceMBER
🔴 21 December, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 CHRISTMAS PUPPETS
The first marionettes, made of clay and ivory, were found in burials in Ancient Egypt. They were used in various rituals with strictly defined movements. Later, mechanical wooden puppets, originally used in performances in Venice, were called marionettes, whose movements were controlled by a manipulator.
In this Sunday’s lesson, the children will design their own marionette – a theatre puppet that can be operated with threads or strings.
🎨 Materials: paper, glue, coloured pencils, felt-tip pens, photographs, scraps from magazines and newspapers, oil crayons.
📅 January
🟣 11 January, Sunday, 12:15-13:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 PORTRAIT
The earliest sculptural portraits were created in Ancient Egypt, following strict artistic conventions. Portraiture became especially popular in the 17th century. A portrait can reveal much more than a person’s appearance—it can also hint at their character, inner world, mood, and social status.
In the first lesson in January, children will create a portrait of themselves or of someone important to them.
🎨 Materials: paper, oil pastels.
🟠 18 January, Sunday, 12:15-13:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 SUPERGRAPHICS
The large-format silkscreen prints, which were created by artists Ojārs Pētersons and Vilnis Zābers are characterised by their poster-like quality, dynamic compositions, content related to the political life of society and expressiveness of form, which is well suited to this technique and the large dimensions of the work surface.
The children will be challenged to create a large-format print.
🎨 Materials: large paper sheets, black acrylic paint.
⏳ Each workshop duration is 1 hour.
