Family Day Superpower Workshop: Messy Hands Storytelling
29 December - 2:30 pm - 4:15 pm
EVENT DESCRIPTION
The world of stories is full of wonders, and anything imaginable in daily life can be realised. ‘Messy Hands Storytelling’ is the theme of the second workshop in the ‘Superpower’ series after ‘X-Ray Eyes’. It combines elements of improvisational storytelling with ‘free play’ in messy play that initiates a sensory interactive painting journey. The experience allows participants to use their hands to create ever-changing visual languages and opens artistic dialogue between adults and children.
In the workshop, M+ Educator Cheryl Chow uses the M+ Collections to stimulate visual associations among participating families. During the story creation process, the Educator will provide prompts to guide participants to paint and add characters, settings, and plots to their own storylines. Adults and children work together to paint their imaginative thoughts on a giant canvas using different lines and shapes. A ‘Memory Pillow’ that carries everyone’s creativity will be provided to each family , allowing participants to take home the creation for extended experiences.
Participants are welcome to visit the exhibitions on their own after the workshop to apply the ‘superpower’ they learned, discovering interesting stories hidden within the objects on display.
About the ‘Superpower’ Series
In the ‘Superpower’ workshop series, M+ Educators inspire participating families through initiating activities related to the current museum exhibitions, encouraging them to discover each other’s creative potential through collaborative experiences.
The creative process expands from the workshop space to galleries, empowering families to explore the museum in their own unique ways. Participants will learn more about their companions and each other’s perspectives in viewing to break through the experience of a typical museum visit.
Conducted in Cantonese.
