The anticipated Hong Kong Arts Month is around the corner, and an inspirational spectrum of art events is dazzling our eyes. While adults may browse through the art jungle joyfully, how can the little kids comprehend the intricate ideas beyond the artworks?

The best way is to meet the artists! Co-working with Mini Kardi to open the gate of art world for kids, Origami Kids Café is now having a brand new workshop, Meet the Artists. Designed to ignite kids’ interest in art, the workshop provides practice of various art forms and offers an immersive multisensory learning. The superstar “teachers” this month will be Henri Matisse and Andy Warhol. Their art will be introduced to kids in a vivid way, and kids will learn how to create art in their particular styles. The little ones will get an invaluable, personal as well as playful art-creating experience of paper cut and printmaking. Through the classes, kids will also learn the innovative art concepts, styles and techniques.

An artist will never know when his/her tap of artistic sense is turned on – so start them young, come to meet the dreamed artists and land on the artsy planet!

Kids asking time: Who is Andy Warhol? What can we learn from him?

The American artist Andy Warhol is a leading figure in the development of Pop Art. Imprinted with the marks of consumption society, Andy Warhol usually duplicates the same object with a slight change in his every artwork. During the workshop, kids will learn the basic skills of copying and be encouraged to observe the nature and their own creating process.
