“THE GREAT WELL-KNOWN AND UNKNOWN”



This year’s topic:



“TOULOUSE-LAUTREC -
CHRONICLER OF BELLE EPOQUE”


AIMS:

- To present children’s and teenager’s creativity

- To popularise knowledge connected with art history and to familiarize participants with the great artists

- To share artistic and methodological experiences

- to develop children’s sensitivity to art



Theme:

This year we meet for the seventh time. After Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Monet, Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt and Rembrandt we would like to look closer at another famous artist. We have chosen the representative of the art at the turn of the century – the French Belle Epoque – a draugtsman and painter, an artist who is considered as a father of contemporary poster, an amazing portrait painter and observer of the life of Parisian street. The spirit of the times is perfectly in his works.



We expect you to present the variegated and difficult life of this French painter. A briliant artist, descendant of old, aristocratic family, a disabled dwarf who became a frequent visitor of Parisian cabarets, cafes and honky-tonks, was famous for his original posters made in lithography. We want you to show both his tragic and happy moments of his life
as well as the achievements of his artistic activity.



Try to show the artist at work, return to his childhood and youth, follow his journeys, life on Parisian Montmartre, meetings with people, look at his atelier, friendship and love. You can also interpret the topic in your own way.

PLEASE DO NOT COPY THE ARTIST’S WORKS – let them be the inspiration for you to create your own peculiar works.
