- Saturday 8 April 2023, 15:00-17:00: An art education program for families with children ages 6-10"[/P][/P]
Using paper as the main material and inspired by the paintings in the Gallery's permanent exhibition, young and old alike create three-dimensional works. Colorful papers and cardboard boxes become the canvas for a creative process in which exploration plays the most important role. Participants discover collage techniques and create the most subversive works as the paintings take on a three-dimensional form. The aim of the project is to offer young and old alike the opportunity to experiment with paper and discover its properties. They will cut, tear, fold and glue, creating their own compositions with forms, shapes and colours.
Program design and implementation: Eleni Piripitsi (teacher/educational program facilitator)
Limited number of participants (up to 10 families; 1 adult with max[2 CHILDREN). FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.

"Body and other landscapes: Movement Improvisation Workshop for Adults at the State Gallery"
[/P]Body and Other Landscapes is a movement improvisation workshop led by dance artist Konstantina Scalionta. Based on the artist's practice and using the body and materials as main tools, the workshop invites participants to explore their bodies and other material bodies as landscapes and as imprints of time and memory.
Participants will be guided to explore movement that emerges through the stimulation of senses, memory and imagination, and through the contact of the body with other materials, they will practice tracking movement in a safe and inspiring environment. Writing and painting will be explored as imprints of their kinetic experience in the gallery space. The workshop will be in conversation with the various works in the exhibition and in particular with Andis Ioannidis' work "Dense Soul", in which fragmented images, shapes, marks, colours and words compose an interior landscape. Open to adults interested in movement, improvisation and performance.
No previous experience in improvisation is necessary.
Participation in comfortable clothing is recommended.
Limited number of participants (10). First come, first served.

"Hidden treasure hunt for children at the State Gallery!"
A mysterious benefactor of this enchanting Gallery has hidden a treasure of inestimable value somewhere here. The little explorers, following the clues he has left hidden, must search for it. They still have to follow his rules and take on the roles he has set. Each team will have its leader, keyholder and scouts. Time is ticking down and the treasure is in danger of being hidden forever! Through the hidden treasure hunt, children will have the opportunity to explore the gallery space and interact with the works in the permanent collection. They will decipher knowledge in a fun and interactive way, actively seeking it rather than being passively given the information. The game method is shaped by the Way Out Escape Room team's experience in designing escape rooms, which aim to develop specific patterns of thinking, combinatorial logic, observation and teamwork.
Workshop design and implementation: Way Out Escape Room team
The project is aimed at children 6-10 years old
Limited number of participants (12 children).

"Portraits...somehow different!: An art education program for families with children ages 5-10."
What strange shapes and forms can I give your face if I gently press your cheeks, nose and lips? Will it be funny or scary? What would your portrait look like if I paint it without looking at the paper?
Young and old, involved in this project, will have the opportunity, through play with materials and media, role-playing and interaction games, to come into direct contact with selected portraits from the permanent exhibition of the State Gallery, to strengthen their communication and have fun!
The playful collaborative activities of the programme encourage exploration and experimentation with the physical characteristics of the participants' faces, emphasizing the various expressions and forms they can take at any given time, as well as the alternative ways in which they can be captured on paper and other surfaces to create original, strange, funny and somewhat different portraits.
Programme design and implementation: Elena Panagiotou (museum educator) and Kyriakos Theocharous (artist)
Limited number of participants (up to 9 families; 1 adult with max. 2 children). First come, first served.
