This cycle of workshops for young audiences features three artists: Pooya Abbasian, in residence at Lee Ufan Arles, Tadzio and Miquel Barceló.
Wednesday 11.02.2026: Magic dandelions
Pooya Abbasian, winner of the Prix Art et Environnement 2025, joins the Petits Fans to inaugurate the first workshop in this cycle. To enter his artistic universe, the children visit his studio and ask him about his relationship with drawing. In Sonnette entre Chien et Loup, a children's book published in 2017, the artist illustrates the adventures of a little girl who, accompanied by her two friends, sows the down of dandelions in the city of Paris. Inspired by this ecologically-minded story, the children create a unique color composition using watercolor pastels to explore different densities and shades of color.
Wednesday 11.03.2026: Quicksand
After discovering different metamorphosis phenomena in nature, the Petits Fans practice forming different elements by manipulating sand on a table. Using this material and the stop-motion technique, which they discover through the use of a fun application, the children create several animated volumes. Now they're ready to orchestrate an enchanting collective metamorphosis!
Wednesday 03.25.2026: Blowing with canvas
In this workshop, children create different arrangements of shapes and colors on a large canvas, using their breath to shape them. They are inspired by this technique, used by painter Miquel Barceló, to represent a marine world that oscillates between abstraction and figuration.
Wednesday 08.04.2020: Hybrid landscapes
For this workshop, children are invited to make personalized postcards from images taken from various magazines. To do this, they use a special technique based on scotch tape and water, enabling them to pick up and deposit the image like a film on the surface of the paper. In this way, they create a multiple, poetic, spring-like landscape, made up of different strata of images.
Wednesday 06.05.2026: Draw me a bull
The work of Miquel Barceló, who claims to spend more time in caves than in museums, is largely inspired by cave paintings. A major figure in cave art and emblematic of Spanish culture, the bull is represented many times by the artist. After discovering his drawings, the children use charcoal to represent the animal according to the following constraint: "make and remake" as the painter says, transforming without ever erasing.
Wednesday 20.05.2026: The Little Ghosts
In his performance Life, 2022, which combines dance, photography and music, Tadzio creates a dialogue between the body and its image. During the workshop, the children set up a small photo studio to produce a series of portraits. After understanding the mechanism of pause time in photography, they discover the magic of the long pause. Taking turns, they team up to capture different states and movements of their bodies in space, until ghostly presences appear.
