During the activities, observing the works of both artists first, children will draw paintings using thick plasters and create compositions.
In the Puppet Workshop, children will visit the exhibition "In Praise of Shadows" to see the effects of traditional shadow theater on contemporary art and they will design their own puppets. They will also see various types of puppets like finger or shadow puppets and learn the creation process behind making puppets.
