Schedule
The course:
☞Start the session with a design, then make the wire frame for the sculpture.
☞We cover the frame with paper and tape to give the shapes mass.
☞Finally, the finished figures are dipped in plaster to give them their final shape.
☞After the plaster has set, the sculptures are ready to be painted!
As well as artistic freedom, the session develops children’s motion coordination and design skills as they take an idea from idea to form, from starting point to imagined finish.
Not to mention, learning plaster casting skills is a useful experience to take with them for the future. We cannot know in advance where the knowledge will be useful, but it is certain that it can be applied in many fields besides artistic expression, from architecture to dentistry.
Pikszis Culture Point
At Pikszis we collect, consume and display all kinds of art. We have created a multi-functional, cultural community space where everyone is welcome, regardless of their prior level or connection to the arts. Our aim is to make it easier for everyone to explore different art forms by bringing together visual arts, music and more in one institution. Pikszis currently consists of a gallery, a café, a record shop, a vintage store and rooms for different workshops and events. We also have an in-house art school, the Pikszis Analogue Circle, which takes a slightly different approach to teaching people how to create.
