METARTMORPHOSIS WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN

“Childhood is for preparation, not for performance”

There is little time for children to play, to dream, to think. We are parents of overscheduled and overstressed kids. Children need and deserve, now more than ever, an ample art-treatment.

Our art workshops allow time for play, that is, unstructured play. destress the children and free up some downtime.
"I’ve been privileged to create art with many children. The kids have taught me so many things, invaluable lessons such as appreciation for the present moment and how to be a listener. The experience helps me stay still, quiet, focused and attentive when observing the details in children’s art." Roxana Ené, the Artist.

Our visual artists from ROXY&KIDS ART create a new, unusual, but fascinating form of art. During their art classes togetherness, love and laughter are as important components as paint, paint brushes and canvases.

Kandinsky believed that emotions are provoked by colours. We believe that
colours are provoked by emotions. The artists inspire and encourage the 2-6 year old kids to to scribble, doodle and paint the music and the sounds they love, to put on paper the sweet taste of a jelly bean or the scent of a flower. The resulting abstract artworks are then analyzed, interpreted and transformed by the artists. They try to connect with the children and help them express emotions, often difficult to express otherwise , help them vent their pent-up, repressed feelings.

The "completed" artworks show the artists´drawings integrated on top of the so joyfully "delivered“children’s abstract creation. There are also little poems, rhymes and short sentences, that fit harmoniously in the composition. They are inspired while creating and "dreaming" together with the children, sometimes they even transcribe their thoughts, opinions and comments. These unique artworks capture somehow what it is like to experience synesthesia.

The participants are inspired to paint or draw in an abstract manner, to graphically express different sensations through synasthesia.

Roxana Ené talks to each of the participants about their feelings and their states of mind, asking them what they wanted to communicate through their paintings.

After the workshop, our artists transform the drawings done at the workshop, adding their own imagination and fantasy, creatingtrue works of art.
