With the help of the photographs of David Seymour, known by his sobriquet Chim, and through our activities and exhibition, we showed today\u2019s children an era that is only known to them from history books. During our conversations, we touched on topics that are not discussed in school. The artistic quality of the photo series and such an exceptional oeuvre can motivate the children to create their own pieces of art.<\/p>\n

Repainted photos from the past<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Recommended for ages:<\/strong> 7-12 years old,<\/p>\n Time it takes:\u00a0<\/strong>1.5 hours<\/p>\n These historic photos show the Second World War trough the eyes of oprhaned children, giving the students the opportunity to look at the topic from a new point of view. They could learn the magical process of redrawing photos. When we projected the children\u2019s oil-pastel images on the old photos, past and present merged and presented itself at the same time. This way, the children gave a new perspective to the existing images, endowing them with a new emotional connection and enabling a more pesonal relationship with the eras of history.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
