How does grabbing a water pistol and painting with it sound? Using soap bubbles and spray paints in every colour of the rainbow, children will experience entirely new ways to apply paint at Statens Museum for Kunst’s Children’s Workshop: Experiments (June 28-30). SMK is the Danish national gallery located in the centre of Copenhagen.
On any weekend in June, if you take your children to the Floating Objects workshop, they’ll bring you back plenty of colourful floating art made of paper and masking tape. There will be artists to instruct and assist. (JQ)
