An educational journey

Kinetic Art is an engaging educational program that introduces students to the fascinating world of art that incorporates movement. This program focuses on how artists use motion—whether physical or optical—to engage viewers and create dynamic experiences.

Program highlights:
Interactive kinetic art tours

Our curated tours take students through exhibits showcasing kinetic art in various forms, from mechanical sculptures to light and sound installations. Students will explore how artists manipulate motion to alter perceptions, engage the senses, and tell stories.

Hands-on kinetic workshops

In our interactive workshops, students will have the opportunity to create their own kinetic artworks. They will experiment with materials like gears, motors, and simple electronics to build sculptures that move.

Exploring perception and motion

Through guided discussions and activities, students will explore the concept of perception in kinetic art. They'll learn how artists use motion, time, and space to create works that play with the viewer's senses.
