🧡 We invite you to Zuzeum children’s art workshops for kids of all ages. The theme of the class and materials change each Sunday at 11:15 AM. 

Children’s art is an exciting adventure, a valuable learning experience, and, most importantly, a way to express their feelings and emotions. Creative activities reflect a child’s inner world and help shape it. Our primary goal is to allow children to explore and unleash their creative potential. We offer various themes and materials, with classes in multiple spaces—from exhibition halls to art studios with beautiful and inspiring interiors.

In our classes, children do more than draw. We show them that art can be multifaceted: abstract, realistic, flat, or three-dimensional. Since our sessions are held in an art center, children can engage with exhibitions, learn about local and international artists, and, inspired by the works of professionals, create their masterpieces.

Upcoming workshops

📅 NOVEMBER

🟠 30 November, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼‍🎨 DANCERS

The first marionettes, made of clay and ivory, were found in burials in Ancient Egypt. They were used in various rituals with strictly defined movements. Later, mechanical wooden puppets, originally used in performances in Venice, were called marionettes, whose movements were controlled by a manipulator.

In this Sunday’s lesson, the children will design their own marionette – a theatre puppet that can be operated with threads or strings.

🎨 Materials: stiff paper, magazine and newspaper scraps, felt-tip pens, oil crayons, glue and yarn.

📅 deceMBER

🔴 7 December, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼‍🎨 CHRISTMAS CARDS

In this class, we will create special Christmas cards. Using acrylic paints and pre-prepared stencils, each child will create a set of personalized Christmas greeting cards. Stencils will help form clear, repeated motifs, while acrylic paints allow for vivid accents, gentle colour blends, and playful textures. Working with brushes or sponges, children can experiment with layers, patterns, and bright highlights to bring their festive ideas to life.

🎨 Materials: card blanks, acrylic paints, brushes, stencils, sponges.

🔴 14 December, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
🧑🏼‍🎨 WINTER LANDSCAPE

In this lesson, we will explore winter landscapes and how artists reveal the poetry of nature in their works – the softness of snowdrifts, the shimmer of ice, the shifting light across white fields, and the calm atmosphere typical of Latvian winters. We will look at examples of northern landscapes depicted with special attention to nature’s cycles, movement, and colour moods. Artists often use free, impressionistic marks and decorative rhythms to convey the feeling of bright, lively winter days.

Inspired by these examples, colours, and moods, children will create their own winter story: a snowy forest, snow-covered cottages, or a quiet rural view. Using pastel crayons, they will build soft snow textures, explore shadow play, and capture the sparkle of winter light.

🎨 Materials: pastel paper, pastel crayons, regular pencil, hairspray.

🔴 21 December, Sunday, 11:15-12:15, lesson for children from 4 to 11 years old
