About the project
Let’s draw!
The Ter Borch family was an artistic family, so what better way to experience their world than by doing what they did? Drawing!
The exhibition At Home with Ter Borch brings the Ter Borch family back home to Museum de Fundatie. Together with Het Imaginarium, we developed a drawing studio where families can start drawing themselves. Just like the Ter Borch family!
The studio invites visitors to look at the artworks, get inspired and draw. No need to be a professional artist. We developed four different tables where you can let your creativity run free. Choose a table that sparks your creativity and create!
The idea was to make drawing feel playful, accessible and social. A place where families can experiment and work together.
About the Drawing Studio
The Drawing Studio consists of four different drawing tables. Each table offers a completely different way to start drawing.
Need some inspiration? Take a spin.
The spinner gives you a combination of ingredients for your drawing, from a subject and colours to an object and a drawing challenge.
Curious what someone else sees? Take a peek.
Small openings reveal details from artworks in the exhibition. What do you think you're looking at? Draw what you see, then discover how someone else interpreted the same detail.
Want to work together? Team up.
Choose a drawing card and finish a drawing started by one of the Ter Borchs. Add a hat, change the hairstyle, create a new background or take the drawing somewhere completely different.
Can you draw what you hear?
Work in pairs and use the speaking tubes. One person describes an artwork without showing it, while the other draws what they hear. The results might be surprising!
