The workshop will begin with an outdoor photography activity, where participants, along with their guardian or parent, will explore the Photo Museum’s unique architecture, designed to resemble a camera, capturing its striking features from various angles using smartphone photography. The session will focus on framing, light, and perspective as they photograph the building.

Afterwards, the group will move inside, where they will print their images and create their own photo collages. Using found images and their own photographs, they will experiment with layout and design, crafting their own personal photo collages inspired by the museum’s architecture and photographic history.

The session will end with a small digital exhibition of the collages, allowing the children to share their creative work and reflect on their exploration of the building through photography and design. Throughout the workshop, participants will engage with both the visual and architectural elements of the Photo Museum, learning how these concepts connect to the art of photography.
