June at It's a Book
Summer is fast approaching! But before you head to the beach, there's still time for some workshops and a day of fun at Quinta Alegre!
Workshop
Saturday, 15th of June, at 10:30 am
All Together
With Maria Nogueira Noessing
For children aged 5 to 9
What do we like to do together? Play? Talk? Dance?
Everyone imagines and draws a character on paper, which in the end will be part of a big collage where all the figures come together in the park!
Like the book "Todos Juntos", the characters interact and come to life on paper. They are joined by other drawn and cut-out elements to complete the scene and complement the visual narrative.
Finally, we'll observe this moment frozen in time, talk about how good it is to do things together and then each of us will take parts of the collage home!

Drawing Lab
With Inês Viegas Oliveira
For children aged 4 and over
In this laboratory we're going to draw a lot and draw nothing. We're going to draw things we see, things that don't exist and others we can't even imagine. We'll use things that are useful for drawing, others that aren't. In the end we'll have a drawing that could be one, two or many things (or nothing at all!). Shall we?
