Children's hands creating art with colorful geometric shapes on a table, in a warm and inviting library setting, with blurred bookshelves in the background.
The Culture Department of the Bailén City Council has organized the children's workshop ‘Funny Faces’ for next September 11th at the Baécula Municipal Library, aiming to foster creativity in the youngest.
The Baécula Municipal Library will host the children's workshop ‘Funny Faces’ on Friday, September 11th. This activity is designed for children to develop their creativity and enjoy artistic expression by creating their own portraits using geometric shapes of different sizes and colors.
Participants will experiment with circles, squares, triangles, and other geometric figures to design original characters and faces. Simple materials will serve as a starting point for each child to create a unique composition, exploring the possibilities of shapes, colors, and element distribution, while fostering coordination, visual perception, manual dexterity, and artistic expression.
The workshop will run in two sessions: from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM for children aged 3 to 6 years, and from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM for those aged 7 to 12 years. Places are limited and prior registration at the municipal library is required.

"With ‘Funny Faces’, we want to put very simple materials into children's hands and let them decide what to do with them. The same shape can become a nose, an eye, an ear, or any other element depending on the imagination of the user."
“
"We are particularly interested in ensuring that the Library's activities do not have a single outcome. Each child should feel free to create their own character, choose colors, and combine shapes in their own way, because that is precisely the value of these types of proposals: discovering that there is not just one way of doing things."
“
"We want children to recognize the Library as a place where they can come to discover, experiment, and participate in different activities. Culture also lies in the ability to spark curiosity and offer tools for each person to express themselves."
The Baécula Municipal Library thus continues to expand its children's programming, consolidating itself as a space open to culture and creativity. The Culture Department encourages families to participate in this proposal where children can see how unique and original characters emerge from simple geometric shapes.
“
"Sometimes it doesn't take much to spark creativity: a few shapes, several colors, and a space where you can try, change, and start over. That is what we want to offer with this workshop."
