Under the general theme “Mother Earth: The Gifts of Nature in a Springtime Celebration!<\/strong>” and focusing on female figures in the iconography of the Passion as well as the depiction of Spring in the works of great painters, the participating children experimented with different painting techniques and materials, creating their own original artworks \u2014 on canvas, with watercolors, and even digitally!<\/p>\n

\n

Inspired by great works of art and within the space of IMMA\u2019s temporary exhibition “WOMEN, the Power of Creation”<\/em>, they had the opportunity to take part in an interactive art workshop with Professor Stavroula Mavrogeni, Director of KEMIT at IMMA.<\/p>\n

\n

At the same time, through films and songs, they learned about Easter traditions of Macedonia, dyed eggs using the oil pastel technique, created original crafts and souvenirs from recyclable materials, and presented their activities in a theatrical performance for the parents and friends of the Museum.<\/p>\n

\n

During the farewell celebration, a poem written collaboratively by the children’s group \u2014 inspired by Kostas Varnalis\u2019 poem “Resurrection” \u2014 was read:<\/p>\n

\n

Today Resurrection is happening
Run with your candles
Break your red eggs
Light your golden candles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flowers are blooming everywhere
All of nature is celebrating
And in every child’s heart
April will blossom!<\/strong><\/p>\n
