🧡 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 a variety of themes and materials, with classes held 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
📅 August
🔴 29 August, Saturday, 14:00-15:30, lesson for children from 5 to 9 years old
🎟️ Participation is free with prior registration
🧑🏼🎨 WIND INSTRUMENTS
At the start of the class, the wind quintet of the Sinfonietta Rīga chamber orchestra will give the children a special mini-concert. This will be an opportunity not only to meet the musicians in person and hear the sounds of their instruments, but also to take a closer look at various wind instruments and learn about the unique characteristics of playing them.
Following the Sinfonietta Rīga wind quintet concert, children will reflect on their concert experience and deepen their understanding of the diversity of wind instruments. In this creative workshop, each participant will design a poster featuring one of the wind instruments introduced during the concert.
Through observation and artistic expression, children will develop their visual perception, creativity, and understanding of the relationship between music and art.
🎨 Materials: paper, acrylic paints, stencils, and felt-tip pens.
📅 September
🟣 20 September, Sunday, 11:15-12:45, lesson for children from 5 to 9 years old
🧑🏼🎨 COPY
The famous Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens made studies after some of his favourite Titian paintings. Learning by recreating other artists’ work remains a key principle of fine art education. This Sunday, we’ll create our own version of one of the paintings on view.
🎨 Materials: paper, oil crayons.
🟢 27 September, Sunday, 11:15-12:45, lesson for children from 5 to 9 years old
🧑🏼🎨 FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Food and its endless variety has inspired art for centuries — including the work of Italian Futurist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, who saw dining as a unique art form. In 1932, he published The Futurist Cookbook, in which cooking and dining were presented as a creative experience, almost a performance in their own right.
In this workshop, children will explore the shapes, colours and textures of fruits and vegetables, transforming simple socks into soft sculptures — zucchini, potatoes, apples and other treasures of the autumn harvest.
🎨 Materials: a large sock, scissors, rubber bands, paper, pencils, sharpies and paints, fluff, cotton balls, or bits of fabric for stuffing.
⏳ Each workshop duration is 90 minutes.
