Step into a world of imagination, color, and texture—through the porthole. This creative art workshop takes place on round canvases that echo the shape of nautical portholes, inviting participants to create richly textured, relief-inspired artworks rooted in the sights and stories of the Mediterranean: its sea, coastline, and timeless towns.
Using paper, water, glue, and acrylic paint, participants will explore layering, texture, and personal expression. Through hands-on experimentation, they’ll develop their own visual language while reflecting on memories, emotions, and the essence of Mediterranean life. Each piece becomes a personal view through a porthole on an imagined journey.
This workshop encourages sensory exploration and creativity, while introducing basic techniques for working with mixed media and relief surfaces. It’s accessible and engaging for anyone aged 8 and up—no prior art experience needed. Perfect for those looking to dive into art through relaxation, play, and Mediterranean inspiration.
