Wycinanki

Wycinanki, intricate paper cut-outs, has been a popular folk craft in Poland since the mid-19th century. They traditionally depicted scenes from daily life and were used to decorate cottages. In this workshop, kids tried the simple wycinanki designs with easy step by step instructions.  In Poland, the decorative cut-outs are mainly associated with two regions – Łowicz and Kurpie. The Kurpie cut-outs are made with a single sheet of paper and are thus totally symmetrical and only one colour.

Claude Monet was the leader of the French  Impressionist  movement, literally giving the movement its name. As an inspirational talent and personality, he was crucial in bringing its adherents together. Interested in painting in the open air and capturing natural light, Monet would later bring the technique to one of its most famous pinnacles with his series paintings, in which his observations of the same subject, viewed at various times of the day, were captured in numerous sequences. Masterful as a colorist and as a painter of light and atmosphere, his later work often achieved a remarkable degree of abstraction, and this has recommended him to subsequent generations of abstract painters. Kids have done wonderful work in the workshop.
