The MACS educational service provides a series of travelling activities for nursery, primary and secondary schools.
It provides an initiation in contemporary art in two stages:
The first part of the class activity takes the form of a looking workshop. It involves a discussion about a series of reproductions. The children observe and discover the language and approach of a contemporary artist. The second part consists of a creative moment to enable a better understanding of the notions and concepts that characterise the work of the artist presented.
Duration of the activity: 1h30
Tariffs: €60 + fixed fee (return trip; from 0 to 50 km: €10 , from 50 to 100 km: €20, from 100 to 150 km: €30)
Info and reservations: +32 (0)65 613 902 / reservations@grand-hornu.be
