Held as part of the Istanbul Toy Museum’s 23 April events, the “Çocuk İzleri” (Traces of Childhood) Painting Exhibition welcomes art lovers at the İMOGA Graphic Arts Museum from 18 April to 18 May, with the support of Faber-Castell…
The “Çocuk İzleri” painting exhibition, created by the artist Nurettin Kazankaya with inspiration from the Istanbul Toy Museum collection, opened with a special reception. The opening began with a speech by the artist Süleyman Saim Tekcan, founder of İMOGA – Istanbul Graphic Arts Museum, which was established in 2004 with the aim of making art accessible. The artist Nurettin Kazankaya then gave information about the exhibition and his works, and the poet and writer Sunay Akın, founder of the Istanbul Toy Museum, gave guests a delightful time with his inspiring speech on art.
Featuring fine art prints of 35 paintings by the artist Nurettin Kazankaya and 19 toys from the Istanbul Toy Museum collection, the exhibition will be open to visitors at the İMOGA Graphic Arts Museum for one month. Acting on the principle that culture and art have an important effect on the development of society, Faber-Castell continues its work in this field.
Faber-Castell, which supports the “Çocuk İzleri” painting exhibition held as part of the Istanbul Toy Museum’s 23 April events, will introduce participants to the creative world of art at the Creativity Workshop on Saturday 27 April and Saturday 11 May. The Creativity Workshop with Faber-Castell inspires young art lovers. Throughout the exhibition, Faber-Castell’s Creativity Workshop will help children develop their creativity and imagination. Through the workshops, children will strengthen their creativity, travel into the colourful world of their dreams and discover the art of printmaking. Starting with a tour of the museum, the workshop will let young art lovers see old printing presses and learn about screen printing, lithography and engraving techniques. After also seeing works made with printing techniques inside the museum, the children will tour the “Çocuk İzleri” exhibition, made up of some toys from the Istanbul Toy Museum collection and the paintings they inspired. At the end of the tour, the children will draw their own toys, inspired by the museum, and experience the excitement of creating a new work from prints of their toy sketches made with the EVA foam printing method.
