Los jueves... ¡A jugar!: The Painter’s Studio

Museo Cerralbo. Calle Ventura Rodríguez, 17. Madrid

Among its educational projects, the Museo Cerralbo promotes a cycle of activities for children between three and five years of age, designed to offer first contact with its collections and museum space.

The program “Los jueves… ¡A jugar!” (“It’s Thursday… Let’s Play!”), designed by hablarenarte: offers a cycle intended to discover different professions related to artistic and literary creation.

In “The Painter’s Studio,” participants learn the basic elements and tools associated with that profession, receive a first-hand view of the materials that make up an artwork and an idea of how painters actually make their paintings. First, certain works from the collection are chosen, and then, participants move to a room set up like a painter’s studio. There, the toddlers become painters themselves.
