The journey to Color Valley is, obviously, full of bright colors! This Family Day's participants will attend three creative workshops. Accompanied by the Museum's teachers and Triennial's artists, they will explore a variety of approaches to using color in art. What role does color play in appliqué designs? And in painterly patterns? How is a colored abstract piece created unintentionally? The trip to Color Valley will provide answers to these and many other questions.
Family Day: Color Valley

Free with advance registration.

Schedule
Marathon of Art Techniques: Lines and Contours Workshop
With the support from the Museum's pedagogues, the workshop participants will talk about the role of the random in art and how artists, such as Hans Arp, Jackson Pollock, and some other modern and contemporary masters, use the chance to create abstract works. During the practical block, inspired by the visual experiments of the Triennial's contributing artist Ramin Nafikov, participants will create abstract works, using form and color alone as a starting point. The resulting pieces will be timeless and could be supplemented with new details even after the class is finished.
Time
13:00-14:15
Meet the Artist: Zina Isupova
Participants will meet the artist Zina Isupova and learn how she works with color when making her applique pieces. Zina Isupova creates images of “boring” everyday objects—socks, doors, windows, and even toilet paper in a particular style—using brightly colored paper. During the practical part of the meeting, participants will make collages inspired by everyday objects, together with the artist.
