What Color is Water? – On Color, Light and Shadow

Core Curriculum

• Art: I.1, I.2, I.4, II.3, III.2

Why does water appear blue? Do humans see the world the same way animals do? We will explore these and other questions during the workshop. Observing colors in Wojciech Fangor’s paintings and experimenting with light, we’ll reflect on how colors affect our perception of the world. In the practical part, we’ll play the role of scientists and conduct various experiments with mixing colors and colored lights, and then we’ll create our own works inspired by the exhibition.

Eyes Wide Open – Optical Illusions in Op Art

Core Curriculum

• Art: I.1, I.2, I.4, II.3, III.2

Have you ever wondered if images seem to move, or is it just an illusion? In the first part of the workshop, we’ll look at the works of Op Art artists such as Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Yacoov Agam, and explore their techniques for creating optical illusions. As we visit the “Wojciech Fangor. American Dream” exhibition, we’ll observe how the retina reacts to different color and shape combinations. In the practical part, we’ll create our own illusionistic works of art.

Space Odyssey – Astronomy Painting Workshop

Core Curriculum

• Art: I.1, I.2, I.4, II.3, III.2
• Science: III.7

Did you know that as a child Wojciech Fangor was fascinated by astronomy and even made his own telescopes? Although he was better with a paintbrush rather than with mathematical equations, this interest is evident in his works. We will observe how his circles resemble planets and stars, and how pulsating rings distort our perception like black holes. In this workshop, we’ll play the roles of painter-astronomers, creating our own planetary systems in the style of Fangor’s famous circles.

Study of Space – Exhibition as a Group Project of Paintings

Core Curriculum

• Art: I.1, I.2, I.4, II.3, III.2

Did you know that Wojciech Fangor created the first spatial installation in Polish art history in 1958? We’ll observe the relationships between the paintings in the “Wojciech Fangor. American Dream” exhibition and then create our installation of “conversing” works. Inspired by the spatial structures on display, we’ll experiment with creating similar ones ourselves.
