ATHENS – On the occasion of the exhibition ‘Cindy Sherman at Cycladic: Early Works’ that will be presented at the Museum of Cycladic Art from May 30-November 4, this year’s summer camp entitled ‘Portrait of Ourselves’ is dedicated to the great American artist. Children will search for their personal stories through Cindy Sherman’s photographic works, the Museum’s exhibits, and animation films.
Who am I? How can I represent myself with colors and paints? What shapes and lines do my feelings have? How have famous artists of the 20th century represented themselves? If I were a movie hero, who would I be? If I had super powers, what would they be and how would I use them? If I were a villain from a movie or story, who would I be?
The children will answer these and other questions in this very full and creative week. The guide in our quests will be games, music and dance. At the end of the week, the children’s works will be presented in an exhibition that will be set up day by day.
This year’s Summer Camp takes place in seven, five-day sessions: June 17-21, June 24-28, July 1-5, July 8-12, July 15-19, July 22-26, and July 27-August 2.
The Summer Camp is implemented with the support of Eurolife FFH, Strategic Partner of the Museum of Cycladic Art and Raycap, Supporter of the Museum’s Educational Programs.
