Courses and workshops

This activity is part of Kids’ Art Day. Travel back in time 150 years to learn about the earliest techniques in (moving) images? I bet you can be just as creative as the children of the 19^th and early 20^th centuries!

Have fun at the walk-in studio tables:
- Make it move – create a “wonder wheel”, also known as a thaumatrope, or draw a flip book
- Camera obscura – all you need is some cardboard, silver paper and tape to understand how a camera works
- Magic lantern – come up with a mini story, draw it on a transparent sheet and project your artwork!
- Photo editing avant la lettre – forget Photoshop and get to work with scissors, glue and paint to edit old photos
- Smile for the camera! – make an accessory or an entire outfit and step in front of the green screen. Now it looks like you’re standing in a Belle Époque interior!
- Sound and light - the first films had no sound. We can do something about that! Watch, choose and let the instruments and objects sound to the rhythm of the images.

Be enchanted by dazzling avant-garde dance on the big screen while a musician plays live music to accompany what you see!

Need a break? The crèche café is the perfect place for little ones to play and read to their heart’s content.

Be sure to take a look at the renovated 19^th and 20^th century decorative arts galleries and let the Erfgoedapp guide you on a fun tour.
