‘Paradise Animals, Joyful Animals’ — a workshop by Tetiana Pukhnautseva as part of the project ‘Artsvit for Kids. Nature of Ideas | Ideas of Nature’

During the previous class, the children staged a mini-intervention in the exhibition space and saw the "ragged edge" of the exhibition as a perfect location for filming their video performances. At that time, they did not know that this week the author of the exhibition, Tanya Pukhnavtseva, would visit us and show young artists how to create engraving forms from plastic.

At the workshop ‘Paradise Animals, Joyful Animals’, we will talk about WHAT exactly a paradise animal can be, who it is and what it consists of — is it joyful or sad, fluffy or short-legged, does it have wings or three magical tails? We will come up with plenty of bizarre animals, and we will turn the most beautiful, tender, and funniest ones into printing plates and print them on fabric, putting them all together — each child will collect their own team of animals on fabric, learn how to print on an etching press, roll out paint, and work with art prints.

WHEN: Saturday, 18 May, 12:00 (for children aged 6-8), 14:00 (for children aged 9-13)
WHERE: Artsvit Gallery, 21a Krutohirnyy Uzviz. Entrance from Uspenska Square through the glass sliding doors
