Kids workshop:

Becoming a Surrealist Artist

This autumn break, children can let their imaginations run wild during a special workshop at Foam! Blommers & Schumm have developed a singular visual language. Their work invites viewers to reconsider what they see and how they see it. Inspired by the exhibition and the working methods of artist duo Blommers & Schumm, children will discover how everyday objects can be used to create surprising works of art.

By looking closely, shifting and combining, they learn how simple things can come together to form a completely new image, a face, a flower, or perhaps something completely unexpected. Using illusion and imagination, the children create their own artwork that shows how differently you can look at the world around you.

This workshop is for children between 6 and 12 years old. Parents and caretakers can join the workshop for free.
