Camp : Artistic exploration in images and sound

Come and experience an unforgettable week where art and music meet in a playful and creative way!

 

During the camp, children will take part in workshops inspired by iconic artists such as Pablo Picasso and Yayoi Kusama, while discovering a variety of artistic techniques, such as painting, collage and sculpture using recycled materials. They’ll also have the opportunity to take part in music and movement activities based on Picasso’s theme of square and round.

 

A moment of musical encouragement will also be offered as children make a “Tambourine and Harmonica” musical instrument. Children can then decorate their musical instruments with dot patterns inspired by the famous Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

 

Each day will be an adventure rich in discovery, where they can let their imaginations run wild and create their own works of art.

 

Several activities will take place outdoors, including a visit to the puppet theater, and cultural outings will be organized, such as a visit to the Geneva Museum of Contemporary Art (MAMCO) and the Geneva Museum of Ethnography (MEG).

 

Join us for a week full of creativity, sharing and fun around art and music!
