Info
The Tartu Art Museum invites children aged 9–15 to participate in an exciting coloring workshop on Saturday, 9 November, at 12:00 p.m. The workshop will be led by the artist Jarõna Ilo.
Using a hands-on approach, Jarõna will demonstrate how to mix all of the other colours from the three primary ones. The focus will be on the relationship between colours and emotions and how mixing colours affects us emotionally. A workshop based on the teaching of colour will allow participants to understand and express their feelings. Feelings and colours meet on a subconscious level and participants learn more about themselves in the process.
Jarõna Ilo is an Estonian artist of Ukrainian origin. Ilo has taught drawing at the Estonian Academy of Arts, the Old Town Education College, the Viljandi Culture Academy and the Australian National University in Canberra. Since 2017 she has conducted art therapy workshops in Ukraine, which have primarily benefited children, but also teachers and school psychologists. In 2022, workshops led by Ilo were held in Estonia for young people from Ukraine. The aim of the art therapy activities was to support students’ adaptation, mental health and better contacts with teachers.
The workshop will be conducted in Estonian and will last 1.5 hours.
All necessary materials will be provided on-site. Since we will be painting, we recommend wearing clothing that you don’t mind getting acrylic paint on.
Participation in the workshop is included with the exhibition ticket. The number of participants is limited, so please register in advance.
The workshop will take place within the framework of the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 project “Creative Connections” and is part of the audience program of the Tartu Art Museum exhibition “The Secrets of the Leaning Building”.
