Workshop led by Marina Oybin and intended for children aged 10 to 15.

Based on the exhibitions Photographic Abstractions, curated by Alexis Fabry, and A Personal Sea, by Francisca López, curated by Rafael Cippolini, this activity will focus on the concept of "abstraction", which connects both shows. The term will be explained to the children. As they explore the exhibitions, they will be encouraged to observe shapes, patterns, and colors that catch their attention. If they wish, they can choose some of these and sketch them in a notebook they bring for the activity or on sheets we will provide.

After visiting both exhibitions, they will create their own abstract composition using various materials on a small piece of cardboard (in passepartout style). The focus will be on key elements of abstraction: tactile texture, visual texture, patterns, lines, geometric figures, among others.
