Do you have a child who loves to be creative, and perhaps also likes to build, cut and create things that take on a life of their own? Then "Drawing in a Shadow Room" with visual artist Amalie Vestergaard Olsen is something you don't want to miss!
About the course
In the course we transform simple drawings into cardboard figures, which in turn become small characters in a living shadow theatre. We play with light and shadows and see how the figures can take on completely new expressions – almost as if they come to life! Here the children get to explore how drawing can become both form, space and magic.
The course materials are included in the price, and you will take home the figures made during the course.
