A Recipe for Making Heroes / Raspustilište


The workshop of hero illustrations, intended for children of primary school age will be held in the Mlin Cultural Station on 27 August from 11 a.m. until 12:30 a.m. The programme is implemented within the 38th Raspustilište, organised by the Novi Sad Children’s Cultural Centre.

In the first segment, the workshop participants will learn about the most important ingredients for creating heroes. They will be acquainted with the way in which the shape (silhouette), colour, and emphasis on key characteristics influence the creation of heroes. They will find out how important the biography of the hero is for the illustrators when they decide which characteristics will determine him.

In the second segment, our little workshop participants will be given a task through which they will apply what they have learned and show their creative solutions. As part of the task, they will pull out from three hats pieces of paper with a description of the key characteristics. Randomly selected characteristics of the heroes leave them space to express their most imaginative visions. We will use crayons and wooden pencils as a means of drawing to write down ideas, before they disappear.

The entrance is free of charge. The programmes are being implemented in accordance with the current epidemiological measures.

Summer part of the programme of the 38th Raspustilište entitled ‘Zagrevanje za Školu’ (En.
