💛 Workshop Description:

In this colourful session from our Inspired by the Masters Series, children will recreate a simplified version of Paul Klee’s iconic work Senecio (1922) — a playful portrait famous for its geometric style and vibrant warm hues.

Paul Klee, a celebrated Swiss-German artist, often blended imagination with abstraction. Senecio stands out for how it turns a human face into a mosaic of circles, squares, and bold colour blocks — making it perfect for young artists to explore shapes, symmetry, and expressive colour play.

To make the experience fun and age-friendly, children will receive a printed artwork inspired by a simplified version of Senecio. On this, they will paint and create textures, discovering how simple shapes and colours can come together to create expressive art.

With guided steps, kids will experiment with warm tones, bold lines, and geometric balance. By the end, they will take home their own striking Senecio portrait — bright, expressive, and uniquely theirs!

Medium: Paints on thick 300 GSM paper
