CREATE YOUR OWN PORTRAIT PHOTO IN THE STYLE OF FRANS HALS

The children take a guided tour of the paintings created 400 years ago by the image guru Frans Hals. His paintings looked like photographs when photography still hadn’t been invented. What can we learn from Frans Hals?

Discover how to add personality, composition and colour to your best photographs. These are the same aspects that make Frans Hals’s portraits come to life. After a short guided tour, the children get to work in our photography studio. They create their own self-portrait. Their teacher receives the digital files of the portraits after the workshop.

Time: 90 minutes

Ties in: with several Dutch primary school attainment targets for creative expression (Kunst maken, kerndoelen: 46-54-55)
