To end the year on a high note, young artists are invited to imagine and create their own greetings card, in the style of a book cover.ith watercolor and pencil, they compose a wintry landscape or poetic scene, add elegant handwritten typography and play with textures and colors to give life to a unique and personal creation.¡A warm workshop to celebrate the holiday spirit while cultivating creativity and a sense of detail.

Pour clôturer l’année en beauté, les enfants seront invités à décorer des objets en bois (étoiles, flocons, boules…) avec des pampilles, motifs hiver, et nuances poudrées comme le blanc, l’argent, le doré ou le bleu glacier.\nGuidés par l’atelier Macha, ils apprendront à penser la composition, le contraste et la lumière, tout en faisant naître une petite pièce décorative à emporter.

This workshop offers an intimate, playful experience: each child traces the outline of his or her hand with a pencil, then imagines a poem or chooses a quotation to inscribe in ink, following the lines of his or her hand.The preparatory pencil trace remains visible as an imprint, before being delicately blurred. In the end, each work becomes a poetic, personalized and graphic calligram.

During this workshop, children will be transformed into jewelers inspired by ancient Egypt: they'll imagine a unique piece of jewelry, combining pencil drawings, luminous watercolors and transparency effects. Guided by Macha, they can draw inspiration from historical quotations placed on the table, or invent their own text to integrate into their drawing. The result will be a delicate work, blending ancient symbols and contemporary expression.

In this workshop, led by Macha, children will let their imaginations run wild as they create a surreal monster from collages - newspaper, patterns, free-cutting, colored textures (black, orange, violet, acid green...).The challenge? Compose a hybrid and poetic being, funny or mysterious, where each element tells a part of a dream or fantasy. An ideal activity for introducing notions of composition, texture and graphic storytelling.

Dive into the world of Pierre Soulages with your children, on the occasion of his latest exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg, Une autre lumière. Accompanied by Atelier Macha, young explorers will create an abstract composition blending deep black solids, luminous streaks and subtle bluish touches.This workshop invites them to question light, texture and contrast - and to "paint the obscure" as the master did - through a guided creative process.

From the Opéra Garnier to the Comédie Française, participants will have the opportunity to discover these emblematic landmarks while learning the art of watercolor painting. These fun and artistic workshops invite children to observe, imagine and paint their own vision of Paris. A great way to combine culture and creativity for a convivial afternoon.

A playful workshop on Niki de Saint Phalle takes place in one of the lounges of the Drouant restaurant, where children discover the artist's colorful and joyful universe through coloring and decoupage. Each child creates his or her own Tarot Garden, an exhibition currently on show at the Grand Palais.

In this elegant setting, the creative energy of the little ones dialogues with the literary history of the place, transforming the refinement of Drouant into a whimsical terrain for artistic expression.
