Workshop „How big is your monster?“

In the course of a two-hour workshop titled “how big is your monster?”, children between the ages 6 and 10 created colourful collages in the
public library Tempelhof Schöneberg.
After a short introduction to the technique, the children unleashed their imagination onto what was, for some, their very first collage – and had a
lot of fun in the process. The result is a row of wonderful images of monsters. In the second step, the children interviewed their monsters to find out details such as their names and superpowers.
On September 26th 2020, the collages were exhibited for the Familiennacht (Long Night of Families), in the central library Schöneberg
(„Theodor-Heuss Bibliothek“). Visitors could admire 8 images of monsters with extraordinary features – some with 15 eyes, others that can spit
water or snap at other monsters with its hair.

The exhibition is located in the childrens’ library section, where it can be visited during regular opening hours.
