"Color is a power which directly influences the soul." Wassily Kandinsky. Concerning the Spiritual in Art, 1911.
FOUR-COLOR PRINTING AT THE MACA is an adventure for the summer, a journey of initiation, it is a 4-week expedition around the world of color and the emotions it provokes in us.
In this chromatic expedition we experiment with color as a means of expressing feelings and concerns, as a technique for creation and innovation, as play, as learning.
The color of emotions. The color of art. Light and darkness. Warm colors. Cool ones. Separating colors, combining them. 4 weeks experimenting with cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
We discover color in the works housed in the museum's collections and how it has been used by different artistic movements from the 20th century to the present day.
As artists, we create our own works based on everything that colors transmit and suggest to us: smells, tastes, sounds or textures. And all of this in a motivating, participatory context, fostering a new, critical perspective that inspires children and helps them develop their creative thinking.
"All children are born artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." Pablo Picasso
The museum's Mediation programming, aimed primarily at adult audiences, offers different proposals in various formats whose purpose is to facilitate deep and meaningful access to the contents of permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. From curiosity, reflection and exchange, we generate an active learning environment in which observation, dialogue and experimentation occupy a central place. Mediation is conceived as a bridge between artworks and people, a space where shared interpretations are constructed and critical participation is fostered. Therefore, we offer participatory activities and experiences that adapt to different ages, interests and concerns, understanding that each perspective brings unique value. With this approach, MACA becomes an inclusive and vibrant space where visitors not only enjoy artistic creation, but also reflect on its relevance and impact on contemporary society.
