This workshop uses the visual arts as an educational tool, beginning with an introduction to the story of Frankenstein — presented here not as a monster, but as a kind of contemporary superhero, opening up space for new symbolic interpretations.

The practical activity involves the use of transparent acrylic sheets, on which the children will trace the outlines of their own limbs (arms, hands, legs). The drawings are transferred onto paper using the monoprint technique. Subsequently, these elements will be assembled on a large backdrop sheet placed on the wall, where, together, they will construct a new collective ‘creature’. The final result will be a hybrid composition born of everyone’s collaboration.
