Winter / Spring Workshops

This is me!

Behind every work of art there is a story, what is yours? We propose a research workshop on self-awareness by experimenting with colour and line. A workshop where, through careful observation of the portraits of different artists present in the exhibition “In Conversation: The Museum and the Collection”, we will reflect and create our own portrait with complete creative freedom.

• Timetable: 11:00 h

*Francesca Corso is an Italian illustrator; she works with images and with them creates illustrated stories for children and for publishers all over the world. She loves the world of illustration and art and strongly believes that a picture book is an important and fundamental medium for everyone, young and elderly people. Her stylistic research is based on the search for colour and atmosphere, on the emotion she tries to convey through illustrations focused on direct communication with children.
