Workshop

Workshops for preschool groups are a magical journey through the world of shapes and colors. The casual formula of the classes and simple art classes create a solid foundation for the growing interest in art. The classes consist of two stages. The first is a walk, during which children discover the interiors of institutions filled with works of art. All under the watchful eye of a guide. Then the works become an inspiration for conversations and artistic activities. During the classes, there is no shortage of movement, which supports the concentration of the participants, allowing them to maintain a proportion between education and fun.

Primary schools are divided into three age groups: grades 1–3, grades 4–6 and grades 7–8. The workshop program is adapted to the cognitive abilities and requirements of a given group. During the workshops at the Power Plant, important issues are discussed, such as: emotions, history, science and cultural customs. The art tasks that accompany the works learned at the institution develop imagination and manual skills. Workshops at the Power Plant are a great start in the adventure with contemporary culture.
