Drawing for Beginners: Drawing Stories (Saturdays)

This term, we will tell stories visually through drawing, a medium offering the chance to look closely around you and also within. We invite you to observe with curious eyes and then choose what you want to tell graphically.
These workshops will cover topics such as sequence (movement, continuity, rhythm...), character design (expression of emotions, gestures, faces) and the relationship between text and image (vignettes, speech bubbles, onomatopoeias) to draw the story we want to tell: from a dream to something that we would like to happen in the future. In our creation, we need inspiration, and the Museum can be the ideal place to look for it. The exhibitions of Tarsila do Amaral and Masterpieces on Paper from Budapest will be our place of work for some sessions.
Throughout the course, we will explore various techniques, such as charcoal, watercolor, and markers, and experiment with various mediums for painting. We will create a small book or illustrated magazine to document the process followed on this course.
Conceived as a series of progressive workshops held over the course of the school year, in which students learn techniques and concepts, the course encourages participants to enjoy art by making art, suggesting a closer, more proactive look at artwork.
Part Three: 6 workshops (from March 29 to May 17)
March 29: Drawing Stories 
In this introduction to graphic storytelling, we will learn different ways to tell a story through a sequence of images.
April 5: Character Design 
We will start creating characters, studying how to represent gestures and emotions, choosing clothing… to give them life and personality.
April 12: BOOM! 
We will discover ways of linking text and image using speech bubbles, onomatopoeia, and different typefaces.
May 3: Animation 
We will make a short animation of our drawings using folioscope, which creates the illusion of movement.
May 10: Faces and Figures 
Geometric shapes, straight lines and a other tricks will help us draw portraits of people and figures in different positions and with different expressions.
May 17: Drawing What Isn’t There 
We will draw a dream, a strange event, a wish for the future…. And we will pull all our drawings and stories together in a magazine or collective publication that will summarize our experience.

Course in Digital Imaging: Learning to Look

In this course, you will learn how to tell stories using digital images, using photographically actively and creatively. In addition, you will develop a critical perspective on the constant presence of images in modern society and expand the ways in which reality can be seen.
Using photography as a medium and tool, we will look for imaginative ways to transform the reality we see at first glance and, going further, to show what we wish to convey from our own perspective.
You will be encouraged to work in groups when planning your images, coming up with creative solutions for your assignments through experimentation, creativity, and play. In search of inspiration, you will visit the Museum’s exhibitions, as well as the works in the Museum Collection. You are welcome to bring your mobile phone or tablet along to take pictures. If you cannot bring your own device, you will get a camera from us. To sign up for this course, a parent or guardian must sign a form authorizing picture taking during the workshops.
The course is conceived of as a series of progressive workshops:
March 30: The Body as Landscape: A Matter of Framing 
We will put into practice the different types of photographic framing using our bodies as a motif. Abstracting our image, the folds of our clothes or our skin will turn into horizon lines, lakes, mountains, or paths.
April 6: What Can a Machine Do with Someone’s Memories? 
Starting from this question posed by artist Refik Anadol, we will analyze the image in the era of artificial intelligence. We will dive and delve into the work of this artist, paying attention to our experience with all five senses. We will write down a series of free notes and then input them into an image generator and reflect on the results.
May 11: Dark is Beautiful 
In the darkness, many things are concealed or unnoticed at first: We will look for them and learn to capture them with our cameras. We will enter a world of mystery and discovery, making the invisible visible.
May 18: Water, Reflections, Bubbles 
Taking water as our theme, we will learn to photograph its movement in high definition. We will explore its reflections, looking for different perspectives and coming up with games where our brain will have to decide what is real and what is not. The thousands of reflections of Anish Kapoor’s sculpture will inspire our investigation.
May 25: Photocall 
We will learn how to design our own space to take pictures, considering the lighting, the background, the arrangement of figures… for a very fun last session where we are the stars!

Art Adventures. Imagine the Future

Dive into the amazing world of artist Refik Anadol and dream about the future. His large-scale installation shows moving images generated by an artificial intelligence (AI) model that turns photos and plans of buildings into stunning new constructions. The artist asks the modelo to create new visions of buildings, generating unprecedented architectural possibilities, which go beyond the limits of the imagination, like something straight out of a dream.
Now it's your turn! How do you imagine the future? This workshop invites you to imagine and draw your own city of the future. Think of buildings with new shapes that change or transform, futuristic means of transport: flying cars, solar-powered trains, ultra-fast tunnels. You could also draw the inhabitants of the future: how will humans and robots communicate? And don’t forget about nature: how will parks and the environment be integrated in your city? And finally, draw yourself in the future. What will you be like when you grow up? What will you do for a living?
Let your imagination soar and create your amazing world!

Sensory Play: Feel, Play, Create (Ages: 3–5)

Join us in this creative experience, inspired by the immersive work created by Refik Anadol for the Museum’s in situ series. Involving all five senses (touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing), in this activity you will activate body movement, discover new ways of connecting to the environment, become one with art, and embark on a magical journey.
Living Architecture: Gehry is the title of Refik Anadol’s groundbreaking audiovisual installation, where AI-generated images feeding on a vast archive of open-access imagery, sketches, and blueprints transform Gehry’s architectural language into poetic, ever-changing landscapes. Fancy a painting that is always changing, even as you look at it… Dots and colors blend into a hallucinatory, dreamlike reality kindling your imagination, wonder, and sensations. Recreating the effects of AI, we will combine colors with our hands, adding our personal touch—the result of our subjectivity and emotions. Guided by your senses and your intuition, you will embark on a fun, creative, action-oriented adventure.

Baby Art

This month in Baby Art, we will focus on body movement as an art medium, using our bodies and their dynamic potential for creation.
Rolling, jumping, sliding, dancing… we will bring two different visual languages together: body movement and art. A space of stimuli and games, Baby Art encourages babies and their families to interact as they explore the galleries of the Museum.
Walking around the installations by Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt, or Refik Anadol can be a unique experience. can be a unique experience. Using color ribbons, we will “paint in the air” as we explore Serra’s installation. In this action-oriented, experimental workshop, we will use both slow-motion and energetic strokes to show movement with color on paper. Our moving bodies will fill the space with color as we carry objects dripping with paint, leave our pigment-loaded marks on paper, make movements on the floor or against the wall, and roll colorful balls to expand our strokes.

Family Yoga

Eduardo Chillida’s sculptures encourage us to connect with our bodies and with others. In this yoga practice, we will work in pairs to feel the balance of opposites. The Basque sculptor’s works will help us understand the contrast between extremes like strength and fragility, heat and cold, large and small, and so on. We will become living sculptures, freely expressing what we feel and exploring new ways of being.
We will practice asanas that embody the energy of an embrace; we will combine conscious movement and breathing techniques that will take us on a symbolic journey to a space of stillness. Through these exercises, children will learn to relax and develop a better understanding of their own bodies, while increasing their attention span and enhancing the perception of their environment.
Aimed at the whole family, these classes use art and yoga poses to play, share, and connect. Art can help us all—kids and adults alike—attain wellbeing, improve our quality of life, and develop our emotional intelligence. This activity will give the little ones, and the grown-ups with them, the chance to connect to their creative essence as they explore conscious movement.

Art & Quantum Physics. Near and Far, from Small to Large (Ages: 3–5)

Discover quantum physics as a family by exploring the invisible world of the tiniest particles through games and experiments related to art. Both in the smallest particles of matter and at the huge scale of galaxies which our eyes cannot see, the universe is quantum. And the quantum world follows surprising and mysterious rules, which are unfamiliar to us. It is thanks to quantum physics that we have technologies such as lasers, microwaves, and mobile phones. And now we can also play and learn through quantum physics as a family!
In this activity, you will discover some truly amazing ideas: How things can be both wave and particle simultaneously; how in the quantum world nothing is in an exact place until you observe it; or how particles can be connected over a distance. In short, quantum physics describes a world where the usual rules do not apply, and objects can behave in ways that seem magical.
What are the smallest things we know about? How can we see them? We will explore the concept of scale, and, with the help of special lasers and materials, we will observe the tiniest,  discovering what we cannot see with the naked eye. There will also be some thought-provoking challenges designed to spark your imagination by building a bridge between art and science: How can we draw the sounds of our voice? What shapes are produced by the vibrations of music? Through this activity, we will boldly embrace this world of uncertainty and enjoy the “micro and macro” levels, changing the way we look at the world.
Running parallel to the exhibition Quantum Visions at the Tabakalera International Center for Contemporary Culture in Donostia/San Sebastián, this collaboration aims to increase our understanding of concepts related to particle physics, contextualizing them in relation to the thought and work of artists who offer us their insight into a world whose understanding often defies our logic. This activity is organized thanks to our strategic partnership with the Department of Science, Universities, and Innovation of the Basque Government.

Play Experiences. Another Dimension (Ages: 3–5)

A free play space to model clay, plus a series of tools to show how versatile the medium is. Inspired by Richard Serra’s The Matter of Time, you will be able to recreate some of the Museum’s sculptures or start from scratch, letting your hands set the pace.
In this unstructured play experience, participants explore the countless possibilities of clay, based on Serra’s idea that sculpture is all about action and the specific properties of materials. This is not guided play: here no-one will tell you what to do or what not to do. Like the master of Minimalism, you will have to focus on the process. The result does not really matter: you will need to concern yourself with the act of creation, guided by wonder and emotion.
This activity is in line with the human urge to explore different possibilities, kindling curiosity with answers to the ever-renewing question “What if…?”. In other words, this play experience encourages you to give free rein to your imagination, empowered by the stimulating environment of the Museum. This activity is meant to be ephemeral, happening in the here and now, without materializing into something permanent, inviting you to explore and create at your own pace as you partake in the collective excitement spurred by the game.

Books Alive! Amazon Jungle Trip (Ages: 3–5)

Stories, emotion, creativity, and adventure are our travelling companions as we develop English language skills on our journey into the Amazon. Inspired by the art of Tarsila do Amaral, we will move through the most biodiverse place on the planet and will experience a world of different emotions. We will also explore Tarsila’s fascinating creative world, taking a look at the marvelous animals and plants that live in her exuberant tropical forests, with their astonishing colors and bright light.
Like Tarsila, who was associated with the modernist movement known as Anthropophagy, we will “digest” the most nutritious elements in the exhibition to make our own art, choosing what we liked best. We will also listen to the story of a gluttonous anaconda, recreating the rainforest and its biodiversity with animal masks.

Nature and Art (Ages: 6–10)

Looking at the shapes and patterns of nature we will create a design on fabric inspired by them. Marking World Recycling Day, on May 17, in these workshops, we’d like to invite you to experiment with the multiple possibilities that nature offers for artistic creation, while promoting ecological values.
In search of our sources, we will explore the paintings of artist Tarsila do Amaral. The mountains, rivers, forests, tropical plants, and skies in her paintings celebrate the richness of Brazil and reveal a dreamlike, surreal nature. Through simplified organic forms that evoke flora and fauna, her work offers an evocative context. As a starting point for our explorations, we will visit her exhibition to ponder the deep relationship between art and nature. In the area surrounding the Museum, we will look closely at the different natural elements—a flower, a leaf, the grass, a stick. Then, we will draw the shapes we find, simplifying them in an exercise of synthesis. After applying inks, we will stamp those images on a cloth tote bag.
This experimental proposal offers resources to stimulate a deeper connection with our immediate surroundings, showing us the multiple possibilities that nature offers us to create. Designed for the whole family, the workshops are suitable for any age, ability, and interests, an enriching and meaningful experience, exploring with total freedom in a collaborative environment.

Color Walls (Ages: 6–10)

Inspired by Sol LeWitt’s Wall Drawing, we will build a new space using color geometric forms.
Many of LeWitt’s forms are made of repeated, swappable simple units. Based on a dynamic of perception and movement in space, we will become familiar with LeWitt’s color palette, analyzing how colors interact, producing a range of sensations and emotions.
We will understand that we do not need a frame or a canvas to make a painting: we can use walls as our painting surface. Also, we will realize that, sometimes, ideas matter more than the finished works of art.
Finally, we will use large geometric pieces in different colors to build a structure together—a place where we can stay and play. Each participant will then make their own model to design a colorful space to play and have fun.

Books Alive! Rounded Giant Landscape (Ages: 3–5)

In May, Books Alive! finds inspiration in the evocative curved landscapes painted by Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral. We will take a look at her vibrant scenes in the Museum, using her compositions to create our own fantasy world. We will also listen to the story of a land without edges, whose residents share a view of justice that moves them to do good.
Using a variety of materials—both hard and soft, fluffy and rough—we will build our own landscape, with cushions for mountains and textiles for rivers. Then, we will think about the characters for our giant landscape. The activity is meant to be an exercise in play and imagination, encouraging creativity and exploration in groups.

Summer Workshops 2025. Art in motion 

Over the summer months, the Museum’s vast buildings are transformed into a living canvas, where the ‘brush strokes’ vary according to the impulse of each participant. In this open environment you can play, experiment and create freely, letting your imagination take the reins. Art and movement merge in these workshops to generate a unique experience. Walking, rolling, jumping, sliding or dancing, you will explore how body and color interact within the space.
In our visit to the exhibitions of Refik Anadol, Helen Frankenthaler and Barbara Kruger, we will discover different ways of making art, finding inspiration in their work, based on innovation and artistic experimentation. We will visit the artworks exhibited in the Museum to experience unique sensations and enter immersive installations to connect to our senses. Next, we will dive into a series of workshops filled with action and discovery, held in an open environment where everyone can play, investigate and create their own art at their own pace.
Learn, create and make new friends while enjoying artistic activities. Every day, a new adventure!
