From 8th to 22nd December 2023, La Falaise Art Center is exhibiting children’s paintings that have been freely inspired by the work of Keith Haring, as part of an educational project with several local schools.
The “Budding Artists” project is an initiative of La Falaise Art Centre, in collaboration with the elementary schools of Cotignac, which has an artistic education programme integrated into the curriculum. In recent years, new schools have joined this venture, notably the elementary schools in Carcès, Barjols, Brignoles, Monfort sur Argens, Salernes, as well as students from IME Haut Var.
Assisted by their teachers, students have immersed themselves in the study of the creative process of a particularly renowned artist. Each year, they produce their own interpretation of the artistic works of said artist. This year for this edition, the choice of artist is Keith Haring, a major figure of the Pop Art movement. After working on their creations, an exhibition has been set up to present the students’ work. The quality of the children’s contribution and their young talent always arouses sparkling interest among the art centre’s patrons.
A charity sale has been organised during this exhibition, with part of the profits raised being donated to support the school cooperatives.
