🧡 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
📅 NOVEMBER
🟠 2 November, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 PHOTO COLLAGE
Photo Collages in the Latvian art scene have been made by artists such as Māris Ārgalis, Gunārs Kļava, Sarmīte Māliņa, Miervaldis Polis, Atis Ieviņš, Andris Grinbergs and others. In this Sunday’s workshop we will create our own photo collages. We will glue different materials to the work surface, which differ in colour or texture from the base.
🎨 Materials: paper, photographs, magazine and newspaper scraps, fabric scraps.
🟠 9 November, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 MY BAUHAUS HOUSE
Inspired by the Bauhaus Masters’ Houses in Dessau, children will design and build their own architectural models – “dream houses” in a modernist style. Working with paper, cardboard, and colorful materials, they will explore the basic principles of Bauhaus architecture – simple forms, geometric structures, and functional design.
Using simple cubic shapes, each participant will construct a model house, adding their own ideas about space, color, and interior design to create a unique home that reflects their individual creative vision.
🎨 Materials: boxes, glue, hot glue, plastic and metal items, newspapers, magazines, and other materials.
🟠 16 November, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 SPACESHIP EARTH
What if Earth were a spaceship traveling through the universe? Inspired by this idea, children will design and build their own miniature spacecraft using a variety of materials.
Through creative exploration and experimentation with shapes and colors, participants will learn the basic principles of design and construction, develop spatial thinking, and let their imaginations soar as they envision what their own Spaceship Earth might look like.
🎨 Materials: paper, cardboard, glue, hot glue, foil, plasticine, plastic and metal items, newspapers, magazines, and other recyclable materials.
🟠 23 November, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO COLLAGE
In the Latvian art scene, artists such as Māris Ārgalis, Gunārs Kļava, Sarmīte Māliņa, Miervaldis Polis, Atis Ieviņš, Andris Grinbergs, and others have explored the technique of photo collage in their works. In this Sunday’s workshop, participants will create their own black-and-white photo collages, discovering the interplay of contrast, form, and texture.
Using materials such as paper, photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, and fabric pieces, participants will experiment with layering and composition to create a visually expressive and personal work in black and white.
🎨 Materials: paper, photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, pieces of fabric.
🟠 30 November, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼🎨 DANCERS
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: stiff paper, magazine and newspaper scraps, felt-tip pens, oil crayons, glue and yarn.
⏳ Each workshop duration is 1 hour.
