I conducted a series of workshops at the museum in Ostend with diverse age groups, ranging from children and teenagers to adults. Each workshop was designed to balance playful experimentation with technical skill-building, allowing participants to engage with contemporary art practices in an accessible and hands-on way. Activities included creating “trash bag animals” to explore form and volume, a graffiti-tape game inspired by the work of Roger Raveel that focused on composition and spatial awareness, and large-scale sand drawings that encouraged collective making and an embodied relationship to the landscape.

In addition, participants worked on watercolor studies of the sea, emphasizing observation, rhythm, and atmosphere, and took part in live-model sketching sessions inspired by Erwin Wurm’s One Minute Sculptures, where movement, time, and humor played a central role. Together, these workshops fostered curiosity, experimentation, and confidence, while creating space for reflection, collaboration, and enjoyment within the museum context.
