Children learned more about their symbolism and discussed the differences in the characteristics of the mentioned animals in our country. They also had the opportunity to look at some objects and find and discover animal motifs and their symbolism on them.
This was followed by artistic creation and recreation of animal motifs that could be found on East Asian objects in Slovenian museum collections. Children had a variety of activities available, such as coloring coloring pages, drawing with stencils and paper folding (origami), with which each child was able to come up with their own animal motif.
The workshop took place within the framework of the project East Asian Collections in Slovenia (Department of Asian Studies of the Faculty of Arts), and the project European Night of Researchers – Humanities rock!
