Children’s Art Workshop

Have you ever lost something you really cared about ?

In his Renaissance poem Orlando Furioso, Ariosto tells the story of the knight Astolfo flying to the moon where you can find anything lost on earth. Inspired by his story, kids will be guided to identify the meanings of material and immaterial loss and will learn how to paint a moon with coffee and ink.
