Painting with Light: A Bright Media Adventure for Children
On January 13, 2027, the City and State Library of Potsdam transforms into a creative photo studio. In the workshop Media Makers - We Paint with Light, children aged 8 to 12 discover how fascinating images are created from light, movement, and a camera.
When Light Becomes Color
In this unique art experience, light serves as a fleeting brush, and the camera as a canvas. Various light sources leave glowing traces in the darkness during long exposure times. This creates colorful swirls, graphic lines, imaginative figures, and mysterious light beings.
Photography as an Aesthetic Experience
The workshop combines photography, media education, and artistic design. Children experience firsthand how exposure time, movement, and perspective change the impact of images. A spontaneous gesture becomes a visible trace, and a moment turns into an independent photographic artwork.
Creativity Without Prior Knowledge
The offering is aimed at children between 8 and 12 years old. No prior knowledge is required. The focus is on playful experimentation, personal image ideas, and the joy of creating with light. The media educational perspective makes technical fundamentals understandable while also providing free access to visual art.
Art Experience in the City and State Library
The City and State Library of Potsdam becomes an interior space for an unusual artwork examination: Not finished images hang on the walls, but the participants create their motifs themselves. Light, space, movement, and camera merge into a temporary installation, the result of which remains visible as photography.
The conclusion: Media Makers - We Paint with Light promises an inspiring aesthetic experience where children learn photography as a creative form of expression. Anyone interested in luminous forms, exciting experiments, and cultural education with direct practical relevance should not miss this free art experience in Potsdam.
