This special program invites children to step into the world of creativity and imagination. Over the course of five sessions, each lasting two hours, children will explore different artistic techniques in a fun, hands-on way. From drawing and painting to collage and printmaking, each class opens a new door into the visual arts.
The workshop is carefully designed to match the rhythm of children’s learning: playful, experimental, and collaborative. Willy’s approach emphasizes exploration rather than perfection, helping young participants express themselves freely and discover the joy of making art.
