SUMMER SCHOOL | 2024 | SOCIALLY ENGAGED MURAL

Workshops

ONLINE WORKSHOPS

Instructor: Jana Danilović

The fieldwork was preceded by three online workshops. Ongoing workshops with students from the Art High School in Užice provide theoretical groundwork and an introductory step into the practical application of wall painting skills at our workshop’s gathering place, Four Waters. During the workshops, the students learned how to contemplate the idea of a socially engaged image that will reside in public space: how changing the visual landscape affects the environment where it occurs and how the environment allows the new image to continue its independent life. Instructor Jana Danilović shares her approach to creating an idea and a sketch for the image in public space from a feminist perspective. Through collective and collaborative work, the students arrive at the final sketch for the mural.

ART WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN: NATURE

Instructors: Jelena i Nataša Prljević

In parallel with painting the wall, we also organized an art workshop for children from the neighborhood on the theme of nature. During the workshop, children were invited to explore the space of the yard and find shapes and objects in nature with which they feel connected and present their significance and role through a drawing, picture or collage.

Participants: Boško, Čarna, Dimitrije, Dunja, Emilija, Helena, Iskra, Nina, Ognjen, Sara i Vojin.
