Lenticular: Current Vs Future (7 to 12 years old) (Free)

About this class

Participants will get the chance to explore the concept of lenticular wall installations by creating two artworks – one reflecting the current city of Doha with the participants using their joyful memories of the capital, and the second reflecting the future city of Doha, with the participants activating and utilizing their imagination.

The two murals, created using separate wall art pieces (painted and collaged), will be combined and turned into a lenticular wall, where the image itself will be a composite of two or more graphics that are interlaced together. 

*Please note, no certificate of attendance will be provided for this program.
