Arts workshops

"It is mainly about your children, their perception, fantasy and development"

The aim is to deepen and improve perception of things, colours and environment – people, animals, towns, shops, …

Factual topical events are pictured (eg. salamanders in the ZOO of Prague).

We create objects, do drawing and painting (use various materials):

  • Traditional materials – tempery colours, water colours, crayons, pencil and plasticine..
  • Environmentally friendly, contemporary and natural materials – plastic cups, bottles, paper boxes, common things around us which may have lost their function – CDs, T-shirts, products of nature (stones, leaves)

Inidvidual and group projects – personality development through your own creating or creating of other children of the course

Talking about the arts – discussions of a given topic on a simple level of children‘s understanding

An instructor creates things together with children – she is one of them – she plays a model person – by a simple and comprehensible way she helps children to reach their aim

Structure of lessons:

  • Warm-up exercise
  • Illustrations from the history of arts
  • Enhancing techniques and work with materials from the previous lesson
  • New project
  • Discussion

A designer and photographer. She has been devoted to arts since her childhood. She started to study arts at the primary school of arts, the subject of arts education, and piano. After she finished her studies at a grammar school, she studied the private Prague School of Photography. Her arts career was enriched with private lessons of an art photographer, JUDr. Martin Martinček, and of a world academic painter and representative of modern arts, Ester Martinčeková-Šimerová.

Mariana does photography – portraits of countryside and everyday events around us. On the basis of photographs, she paints portraits of well- or less-known people with oil pastel and she also illustrates books, makes jewellery while using new technologies in arts.

She has an inborn relation with children with whom she creates the world around by means of art technique and materials.

Marianna’s pictures hang on walls of private as well as public rooms. (eg. Atlantis Center-House of Experiences, Prague; Muzeum of J.N. Hummel, Bratislava).
