Drawing, Painting and Art History.

Artists have asked the same questions for centuries… With their help, we will try to find the answers.
How was a painting made 400 years ago?
What is happening in the square of the famous Bruegel painting?
Why do James Ensor’s characters all wear masks?
And what does the skeleton symbolize?
Why are there so many enigmas in the paintings of Magritte?
You will have to find out… And it will be your turn to take a brush and to paint your world. Make up a funny or frightening mask. Create your own riddle in a strange painting. And today, how do artists create pieces of art? Do they use the same methods as 400 or 500 years ago? With torn papers, pastels, iron, old cardboards or old tins, you can also create art.
