WIRE STUDIO
Drotárstvo (wire making) is a craft that originated in Trenčín region. Wire wandered and repaired clay and tin pots all over Slovakia. They also sold finished products made of wire – hangers, traps, baskets, cages, but also sheet metal – brooms, funnels, breeches, metal toys, and so on. Later, the craftwork became artistic and began to produce jewelery and various ornaments to the home. What would you like to produce? Toy? Bag embroidery, bookmark, earrings, and bracelet as a gift or a flower that never grows up? In the Drotary workshop you will learn the basic technique of wringing, make a little ornament, and produce at home what you think.
WORKSHOP LUMINOGRAPHY
Luminography is an ancient technique known as “light painting”, ie. Drawing by light. It takes light sources such as candle lights, burning torches or electric lights, but mostly in motion. Due to the long exposure made in the camera placed on the tripod, the moving lights are captured in the color trajectory. The luminogram refers to an image that was produced by exposure to photosensitive material using light without additional objects.
PLAY PAINT
Graphic festival large-scale landscape was created by young Trencian graphic artist Michal Križan. But she stayed in clean, colorless graphics, and the festival children are reviving the landscape with colors. Than? Tupování. It is a paint application technique not by brush stroke but by spot painting (painting) paint to the surface. Techniques are used by artists for crawling, templates, ICE painting or wall painting.
SUNFLOWER STUDIO
Creative activity designed directly for primary school classes as a collective work. The team works with an A1 drawing on which the outline of known sunflower painting is pre-printed. The painting by Vincent van Gogh himself said: “I would prefer to decorate my studio with a half-sunny image of a sunflower – a gem that shines with purity on a variety of backgrounds, from green to royal blue. … It would have the same impression as the Gothic temple windows. “Children can take the finished picture with them.
PHOTO STUDIO
Young photographer Patrik Kubizna of the Central Art School in Trenčín takes pictures in our festival photo studio. An interesting and creative activity full of fun and spontaneity. The photo on which the right moment is captured brings joy and enthusiasm. The review process will be revealed to the interested parties. The resulting children’s photos will be found last year, as well as this (after the festival) on our Festbook.
ENCAUSTIC STUDIO
Probably few have heard about the technique called encaustics, and it’s nothing to do with it. It is painted with encaustic iron on encaustic paper. People could say that it is a technique of painting wax on paper and other materials known from ancient times. Wax painting enables creative self-realization, which is inexpensive and suitable for everyone.
GRAPHIC WORKSHOP – FROM THE SPACE TO SURFACE
Stanislav Piatrik, a Doctor of Art Studio participant, is supposed to provide space for dynamics and interactions with other children. They create and capture situations inspired by conceptual art, minimal aromas, and relationship situations. Each participant chooses only one visual tool. Drawings are depicted in the space. Each one contains one-word input. Children are alternately or paired on each floor to gradually develop into a mutual dialogue. The number of expressions depends on the number of participants (spray, fix, carbon, color tube, color labels, etc.).
ATELIER OF DRAWINGS
Student Monika Bažalová will present graphic drawings for children’s drawings. In addition, he produces eight finished works. Together with him, his classmate Tomáš Valent exhibits classical drawing.
ATELIER INTERACTIVITY
Interactive art is part of the art of new media. Atelier The interactivity of the young audiovisual artist and designer Pavol Soukal provides children with the opportunity to participate directly in the work. Interaction is possible with the help of computers or sensors of motion, heat, distance, pressure and the like. Children can create musical-sound collages using touch and drawings. This is an unusual fun artistic experiment.
