This creative birthday workshop can be set up for groups of minimum 6 children. It takes place at the studio (6 to 8 children), or at your home (from 9 children on).
Two possibilities:
1/ The children will learn how to draw a landscape with figures or animals, to illustrate their « imaginary travel sketchbook ». They will represent a place where they have been, or an imaginary region where they would like to go, using paint, stamps, and collage. They will create their artwork on a cardboard canvas, that they can bring back home and keep.
This workshop is a playful way to introduce travel sketch art to them. It teaches them sketchbook techniques for journaling during their holidays or in their everyday life.
Children will work from their imagination, or from photographs and magazines that I will bring with me.
2/ The youngest ones (3-4 years old) will learn to paint and decorate a small paper mache box, in which they can put candies or small objects.
Whichever type of class you choose, the workshop adapts to the children’s age: young children will work with paint, pattern effects, collage; the older ones will learn how to draw and set the scene.
The children each go home with their artwork.
It is not necessary to know how to paint or to be « good at drawing » to take part. The workshop is a moment of creativity and exchange, and the pedagogy is adapted to each child.
We work inside (no plein air drawing on the street during this workshop).
- The following supplies are provided:
– 1 cardboard canvas per child (size 33x22cm) / or a small paper mache box per child (size 10x7x2,5cm)

If you would like to use watercolor (on paper) or any specific materials that you may have at home, don’t hesitate to bring these supplies.
Remember to bring paint smocks to protect clothes!
