Drawing Academy Workshops
Throughout the duration of the exhibition, every Wednesday and Saturday (by reservation), the Drawing Lab welcomes your children (from 6 years old) for a visit of the exhibition with our mediator followed by a creative workshop using the technique of the artist exhibited.
In class or in a leisure centre from Wednesday to Friday, 50 euros per group (by reservation).
The Little Cinema of Pages —
In this workshop, children will discover the art of the flipbook, a simple and fun animation.
They will create their own little story by drawing successive images that, once the pages are quickly flipped through, will bring their imagination to life.
Each child will leave with their personal flipbook, transforming still images into a real little cinema in their hands.
The magic moves —
This workshop invites children to immerse themselves in the creation of a collective short film in stop motion.
Together, they will imagine a story and make flat drawings that will then be animated.
This true teamwork will allow them to experience every step of the process: from character design to animation, to finally creating a video from their creations.
At the end, they will be able to watch the fruit of their work as a group, in the form of an animated film.

— On a Wire After setting up his exhibition, Keita Mori put all his spools of thread and wool in his bag. During his trip everything got tangled! Will you be able to untangle the balls and continue the artist's drawings? In his works, thread has replaced the pencil of the pencil and has covered all the walls of the art center, it's up to you! Strings – Keita Mori, curated by Gaël Charbau – February 24 – May 20, 2017.
— Powder of escape Oh no! The drawings on the walls of the Drawing Lab have faded. Carried away by such a loud dance, the characters of the dreams of the artist Christian Lhopital have erased between them, leaving only graphite powder on the floor. To your tools, it's time to give rhythm to this dance! Danse de travers – Christian Lhopital, curated by Jean-Hubert Martin – 16 October – 9 January 2019.
— Élisée Reclus' herbarium Élisée Reclus is anineteenth-century explorer who traveled the earth in search of the most beautiful landscapes and described many plant species in his books. While the artists Florentine & Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize wanted to open their sketchbooks filled with drawings of flowers, they flew away and all mixed. Will you be able to reconstruct Monsieur Reclus' herbariums? Élisée, une biographie – Florentine & Alexandre Lamarche-Ovize, curated by Solenn Morel – October 13, 2019 – January 9, 2020.
— K7 to draw (title for adults) What is a "K7" or a "VHS tape"? These objects that your children have certainly never come across and that belong to your generation, the artist Vanessa Enríquez uses them to draw! Equipped with meters of VHS tapes and double-sided tape, children are invited to experiment with the artist's technique and draw with the remains of the VHS tape glued to the tape. A landscape, a forest, what will emerge from this technical process based on movement and chance?
RESOUNDING SONGS – Vanessa Enríquez, curated by Frida Robles – October 16, 2021 – January 12, 2022.
— Exquisite map
"We who desire without end" – Karine Rougier, winner of the 2022 Drawing Now Award – January 20 – March 31, 2023.
" My beaver Have you ever come across a beaver?" Beavers are wild animals that we don't get to see often and yet they are indispensable. In her exhibition, Suzanne Husky shows us their importance in the balance of natural environments.
With the help of pre-cut cardboard that we will assemble, and with the watercolor technique used by the artist, the children will be able to take a pretty beaver out of the cardboard that they can take home.
The Deep Time of Rivers - Suzanne Husky, winner of the 2023 Drawing Now Prize - January 26 - April 7, 2024.
— Drawings of space What if, like the artist Gaëlle Chotard, the astronaut Thomas Pesquet had brought back drawings from space, what would they look like?
Inspired by planets, meteorites and stars, children create drawings with wire and metal sponges, creating drawings in volume, in space. What Goes Through Me – Gaëlle Chotard, curated by Valentine Meyer – March 20 – June 16, 2018.
— Engraved drawing In the manner of the artist Debora Bolsoni, the line is hollowed out with a gouge in a piece of linoleum and then transferred to paper or cardboard to create everyday motifs.
Like an ink pad, the patterns are repeated until they create a deck of cards, a memory in which you will have to find the duplicates. (No Names, But Names) – Deborah Bolsoni, curated by Claudia Rodriguez Ponga – June 9 – September 9, 2017.
" Traces, stains or imprints?" The artist Michail Michailov draws the dust so well that it looks like it is placed on paper. Traces of our passage, forgotten remains and created over time, dust is composed of human footprints. What footprints do the fruits leave? The children draw with the juice and flesh of the fruit, creating stains, traces of an action taken. I am Everywhere – Michail Michailov, 2018 Drawing Now Prize – January 30 – March 2, 2019.
— Sugar drawing Inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky's sugar ready-made presented during the exhibition TOUT UN FILM! and kept in the collections of the Cinémathèque française, make your own work from your favorite food: sugar! From sugar cubes, be inventive, transform them and let your imagination run wild. In crumbs, powder or ice ... Sugar offers endless possibilities. So the only question to ask is: what are you going to draw?
TOUT UN FILM! – collective exhibition with the collections of La Cinémathèque française, curated by Joana P.R. Neves – January 16 – February 28, 2021.
" Did you see?"
"We who desire without end" – Chourouk Hriech, curator Jérôme Sans – March 18 – June 15, 2022.
— Duo drawing
In the idea of Boryana Petkova's performative work Link , children are invited to draw in pairs.
Connected by a ribbon by the wrists, they must create a work with the constraint of the other.
To cooperate, to resist or to capitulate, the final drawing is the result.
Non-Effective Drawing - Emmanuel Béranger x Boryana Petkova - June 22 - August 24, 2024.
— Still drawing In his exhibition, the artist Nikolaus Gansterer investigates movement and line in space. For him, thought is an action, drawing is a gesture that draws a movement in space, a line to draw. Using bamboo stems and dried wood, the artist proposes a drawing in volume, a mobile to hang and observe.
)( ) DRAWING AS THINKING IN ACTION – Nikolaus Gansterer, curator Jeanette Pacher – March 22 – June 15, 2019.
— Drawing on paper? In the manner of Raffaella della Olga, children experiment with drawing on paper. Be careful here it will not be a question of drawing on a classic sheet of paper but rather on a tree leaf! On this natural sheet, all tools are allowed: markers, paints, graphite powder provided you do not pierce it!
DRAWING POWER – collective exhibition with the collections of Frac Picardie, curated by Joana P.R. Neves – June 26 – September 30, 2021.
— Head in the Stars
Du Temps be the measure – François Réau, curator Léo Marin – October 14, 2022 – January 5, 2023.
" On the front page!" Benjamin Hochart's exhibition Pulp•e is directly inspired by the pulp magazines that were very popular in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. It's your turn to create your own magazine cover. Take out your pencils, grab your pair of scissors, unleash your imagination to create the cover of your magazine... It's up to you! Pulp•e – Benjamin Hochart, curated by Fabienne Bideaud – April 14 – September 6, 2023.
" Superpowers !" Based on stories of ecologies, elements or animal species that shape the geological or geographical territories they inhabit, draw an imaginary scene in nature or in the city and imagine how to make their interactions or superpowers visible!
The superpowers are added at the end with the fluorescent pencil and then the drawings are illuminated with UV light which reveals what is not seen by humans without this tool. Admiratio – Noémie Sauve, curated by Anne de Malleray – October 14, 2023 – January 7, 2024
