Storytelling,
Art and Colour
with Carolina
Cabrera
Art is about connecting the dots and seeing the bigger picture.
The most famous artists in history were well-rounded people that
were at the same time artists, engineers, scientist,
mathematicians and poets.
Leonardo Da Vinci was an engineer, scientist and painter.
Michelangelo was a sculptor, architect, painter, botanist and
poet.
William Blake was a poet and an artist.
For this reason, we are interested in showing the children how
art connects with everything else, and everything else connects
back to art.
In the past, we had the opportunity to visit and
contribute to ArtSci exhibition at ETH in Zurich, and explore the
intersection between art and science.
This time we will have the opportunity in the coming weeks to
explore the relationship between literature, in particular,
storytelling and art. We will be joined at the studio by
Carolina Cabrera who is a librarian and social worker and
currently regularly reads stories to children at the library in
Baden, schools and kindergartens. She is also the author of a
book,
Ich
zieh an, was mich glüklich macht, und du?
After hearing a story from Carolina, we will follow up with
creative activities related to that particular story. For this
first event we are planning to work with self-expression, colour
and feelings.
Children have often strong emotions which range from joy and
excitement, to anger and disappointment, and children are still
in the process of learning how to process these; art can give
them a tool for expressing their feelings in a positive and
creative way.
We will learn how different colours are related to different
emotions: red for example can be used to express love or anger,
blue tranquillity and sadness, orange creativity and excitement,
yellow joy, and how we can use these to create a piece of art
for self-expression and fun!

Fundraising Event: Face Painting
27th Oct 2012
11 am to 4 pm
“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and
responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” Tessa Edwards
JArt
Studio-Gallery is organising a fun face painting event for charity
which will take place in autumn, just before Halloween! Hence the theme of
the day will be Halloween. All are welcome to take part, children as
well as adults. Come dressed casually, or even better, show up in a fancy
dress – so that getting your face painted will add that extra touch to
your mask!
The price for a face painting will be 10 Fr each; however, donations for
other amounts will also be accepted as this is a chance to contribute
towards a good cause.
If you would like to take part but cannot make it for the day, you can
still help/contribute by making a donation towards this
event/organization via the “donate button” below, or directly via the
Green Cross page.
All Proceedings in fact will go to the Swiss Green Cross
which facilitates overcoming consequential damages caused by
industrial and military disasters, and the
clean-up of contaminated sites from the period of the Cold War. Central
issues are the improvement of the living quality of people affected by
chemical, radioactive and other types of contamination, as well as the
promotion of a sustainable development in the spirit of cooperation
instead of confrontation. This includes the involvement of all
stakeholder groups affected by a problem.

Workshop
Batik Style Painting
Saturday 25th Feb 2012
10 am to 6 pm
The name "Batik" - which
means what is drawn - derives from the Indonesian words "amba"
(to write) and "titik" (drop).
This technique of painting on
fabric was probably already known and practiced by the Egyptians and was
introduced in the Java Island (Indonesia) between 300 and
400 A.D. by Indian traders. In Europe, however, this painting style is
today still not much known or widespread. This workshop, thus, will
provide you with a unique opportunity to learn about this
fascinating art. You will be introduced to Batik by working on a
chosen design, reproduce it on a silk or cotton support, learn about
different waxing procedures, colouring and drying of the fabric,
removing of the wax and fixing of colour.
The workshop will run from 10
am to 6 pm and you will have the opportunity to create from one
to three painted pieces including a scarf, a cushion cover or
a painting.
This course will be taught by
Ludovica who has lived in Malaysia for three years; it was in
fact there that she discovered and developed her passion for
Batik painting.
This
workshop will also be an excellent opportunity for
spending some quality time together, meet new
people and have lots and lots of fun!!
If
this sounds interesting, join
us at the studio-gallery on the 25th of Feb for
a day of fun and creativity!!
Book now!! Places are
limited!!
***Please give confirmation with at least 10 days notice***.
Price per person: Fr 150.00 (price includes art material and a light refreshment ).

Art Tours: Milan
4th Dec 2011
Tour Description:
We will begin our tour of
Milan by visiting the beautiful and imposing Duomo
which is located in the heart of the town. The constructions of this
impressive cathedral began in 1386 and lasted over 400 years; today, it
has become the symbol of the city and is often described as one of the
greatest churches in the world.
Next we will walk through to
the glamorous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, where we will
have a chance to admire some of the most prestigious fashion shops in
Milan, see new trends, and if you wish, you can stop to have lunch or a
coffee in one of its many shops and cafeterias. Through the gallery we
will then reach the piazza housing the world renowned theatre
of La Scala – Milan’s opera house where many famous artists
including Maria Callas and Luciano Pavarotti performed, and also where the woks of composers such as Verdi and
Puccini first debuted.
Then we will walk through the
Brera District - a fashionable and historic part of the
city - until we reach the Castello Sforzesco, where we
will have an opportunity to visit parts of its art collections.
But the highlight of our tour
will be the chance to view Leonardo’s ‘Last Supper’ in the
refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie’s convent. This
masterpiece was painted in the 15th century and it has recently
been restored and brought back to its original state - it is in fact now
possible to admire all its beautiful details and colours. This fresco
