Christmas Zen - Festive children΄s workshop at Museum of Asian Art
CORFU. Children will discover the stories hidden behind Japanese painting scrolls and become acquainted with the simplicity, serenity, and freedom of Zen art.
The Corfu Museum of Asian Art welcomes the Christmas season with a festive workshop inspired by the temporary exhibition “Zen Painting: The Sound of Silence.” Children will discover the stories hidden within Japanese painting scrolls and explore the simplicity, tranquility, and freedom of Zen art.
They will then experiment creatively with monochrome painting, making their own Christmas creations to decorate the Museum’s tree, learning that in Zen technique there is no such thing as a “wrong” brushstroke.
The programme will run on December 17, 18, and 19 for primary school classes (Grades 1–4), and on December 20, 2025 from 11:00 to 12:00 for parents with children aged 7 to 10.
Participation requires filling out the online form here.
