Superpowers
Corals are tiny animals that nevertheless build the largest edifices in nature, they react to blue light by reflecting fluorescences, and have multiple roles in the ecosystem such as nursery for other species or protection of the coastline. Volcanoes are a source of heat and nutrients for many species that shelter there, some birds brood in warm areas on land for the volcano to brood with them, and some gobius fish feed on the bubbles of very hot underwater gases that come out of volcanic areas. Other species, on the other hand, fear this type of presence, which is incompatible with their physical composition.
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 (elements and animals are everywhere!) and imagine how to make their interactions or superpowers visible!
The superpowers are added at the end with a fluorescent pencil and then the drawings are illuminated with UV light which reveals what cannot be seen by humans without this tool.

— On a thread
After setting up her exhibition, Keita Mori put all her spools of yarn and wool in her bag. During his trip everything got tangled! Will you be able to untangle the balls and continue the artist's drawings? In his works, the wire replaced the pencil of the pencil and 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.

Escampette powder
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 – October 16 – January 9, 2019.

The herbarium of Elisha Reclus
Élisée Reclus is anineteenth-century explorer who traveled the earth in search of the most beautiful landscapes and described in his books many plant species. 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
Karine Rougier's exhibition is directly inspired by tarot and divinatory cards but also icons and attributes from all civilizations of the world. Thus every detail of the exhibition " We who desire without end" comes from this universe so dear to the artist. It's your turn to create your own playing cards through the exquisite corpse technique. Take out your pencils, unleash your imagination and let yourself be carried away in the creation of your cards ... It's up to you!
"We who desire without end" – Karine Rougier, winner of the 2022 Drawing Now Award – January 20 – March 31, 2023.
—Ingraved Drawing
In the manner of the artist Debora Bolsoni, the line is gouged into a piece of linoleum and then transferred to paper or cardboard to create everyday patterns. 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 doubles.
(No Names, But Names) – Deborah Bolsoni, curator Claudia Rodriguez Ponga – June 9 – September 9, 2017.
— Traces, stains or footprints?
The artist Michail Michailov draws the dust so well that one would think 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 the flesh of the fruits then creating tasks, traces of an action carried out.
I am Everywhere – Michail Michailov, Drawing Now Award 2018 – January 30 – March 2, 2019.

Sweet drawing
Inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky's sugar ready-made presented during the exhibition TOUT UN FILM! and kept in the collections of La Cinémathèque française, make your 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?
How to bring back the most beautiful memories of a trip without a camera? Thanks to the drawing of course!
The exhibition of the artist Chourouk Hriech is a new destination, that of a world in which landscapes mix cities and nature, and in which a multitude of birds have found refuge there. Pencils in hand discover the fauna that inhabits the cities, put color in the artist's drawings and especially bring back a maximum of images in our travel diary.
"We who desire without end" – Chourouk Hriech, curator Jérôme Sans – March 18 – June 15, 2022.
— Space drawings
And if, like the artist Gaëlle Chotard, astronaut Thomas Pesquet had brought 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 crosses me – Gaëlle Chotard, curator Valentine Meyer – March 20 – June 16, 2018.
— Stationary drawing
In his exhibition, 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
François Réau's exhibition is directly inspired by the sky and space. The stars joined together form drawings that are then called constellations. Like little astronomers, discover the stars and the multitude of drawings they form at night above our heads. But what do the stars do during the day? Using fluorescent tubes and paint create your own map of the daytime sky when the stars are at rest!
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•e 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, take your pair of scissors, free your imagination to elaborate the front page of your magazine ... It's up to you!
Pulp•e – Benjamin Hochart, curated by Fabienne Bideaud – April 14 – September 6, 2023.
