What are we going to do?

The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites you to “Horses and Little Horses”—wonderful, sensory workshops for the youngest children. The starting point for our fun-filled session will be Pablo Picasso’s famous work Horse’s Head. Sketch for “Guernica”.

What will we be doing?
We’ll divide our session into two engaging parts:
 
Music and movement: First, we’ll see if any horses are hiding in the museum. Using our sense of hearing, touch, and smell, we’ll investigate whether they’ve left any traces behind. We’ll think about how many sounds we associate with these animals. What does a small horse sound like, and what about a large one? Together, we’ll try to move just like them!

Sensory Art: In the second part, we’ll seek inspiration from a sketch by a Spanish painter. We’ll use our hands and feet to create a completely original, large-format mud drawing.
