Miss Dot and Mr Point meet again for a walk after the holidays… And we will walk to Plato with them!

Large white canvas, red and blue colour and the shape of a circle. We will mix colours, paint circles, wheels and rings, print them, frottage them, colour stencils and connect them all into one large painting.

Miss Dot and Mr Point will accompany children throughout the cycle consisting of several art workshops in PLATO. It is possible to participate in selected workshops or the entire cycle. In each workshop, we will introduce two colours and one shape. We will offer a huge drawing area, many kinds of brushes, foam stamps, colourful adhesive tapes, non-toxic paints, stencils and objects of the particular shape and other art material. In workshops, we will explore the following shapes with our guides: a circle, square, rectangle, triangle, lozenge, line, oval, and hexagon.

This art workshop for children and their parents will be led by Hana and Tomáš Volkmer. We can all create together!
