This workshop is open to children between 6 and 12 years old, and will start with a brief visit to the abstract art collection at the Reina Sofía Museum, making a first approach to great abstract classic’s that will boost the kids’ imagination for their own experimentations.

We propose the realization of a stop-motion animation, turning the Dot and the Line into scenic elements. For this, we’ll use various translucent and reflective surfaces and matte materials, light sources, filters and volumetric objects.

We’ll videotape and photograph the obtained imagery and record sounds produced by the children and the various objects featured in the animation. Finally, we’ll edit the images and sounds with digital editing software.

Language: Castellano

Laboratoria is a collective of artists based in Madrid, who work in various areas like education, design and the fine arts. Their methodology is participative, focusing in the discovery of the world and the arts through the dialog and experimentation.

They’ve designed and offered workshops at various Spanish venues such as the National Museum of Anthropology, the National Library, the Sculpture Musem in Leganés and elementary schools.

For the last four years and with the A Mano Cultura platform, they’ve been organizing the I’ve seen it guided tours to the Parque del Retiro, open to school groups and included in the “Childrens’ Environmental Education Program at the Parque del Retiro: Art, Childhood and Nature”, organized by the Madrid City Hall.
