Two Portraits, One Click

Is it possible to find stories that “unlock” different periods in Art inside images?

The Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation, as part of the tribute exhibition "Photis Kontoglou and His Influence on the Younger Generation", presents a creative workshop for children aged 8 to 12 that focuses on portraits.

The face of Nikos Engonopoulos turns into a portrait by his teacher, Photis Kontoglou, and then he responds with a caricature of himself. The multidimensional features of images motivate children to discover the similarities and differences between the two portraits, the ways of depicting facial traits and the techniques used by each artist in different periods of Art.

At the “Two Portraits, One Click” workshop children learn how to make their own, alternative portrait, by discovering the endless possibilities that photography and printing offer. Hence, the deconstruction of the face leads to a different kind of composition, consisting of eerie creatures as well as bright colours and shapes.
