Please, Do Touch Workshop

We are used to experience the artworks only by viewing them as we are normally forbidden from having any physical contact with the art. Actually, all of the senses are a part of the art experience, especially the touch. Going through some art pieces, we will learn how artists began using different kind of materials for making their artworks. Materials have different qualities: they can be smooth or rough; hard or soft; warm or cold. The twentieth century saw artists experimenting with unexpected materials, as everyday objects, textiles, or industrial substances. Using some tactile sensory boxes, we will try to find out which materials the artists had used using our hands first, and then our sight.
