Museum lesson
The infinite world of M.C. Escher
What makes artists so unique? They view reality differently to most people! In turn, their work and their actions subsequently prompt us to see the world afresh. Making everything around us new, unusual or surprising. The work of Maurits Cornelis Escher is unsurpassed in that respect. Escher is one of the most famous artists in the world. In his work, this modern Dutch master plays with perspective, space, mathematics and reality. Nothing is what it seems in his remarkable prints.
The museum lesson introduces pupils to the work of M.C. Escher and to The Palace. They will discover how Escher produced his prints and how he saw the world around him. Their time in the museum will leave them inspired and amazed. They will get a chance to draw their own tessellation on paper in the workshop held in our Escher Atelier. This workshop is the ideal opportunity to get to understand Escher’s mathematical tessellations and is adapted to the pupils’ level: from straightforward to complex. The workshop will challenge pupils irrespective of whether they are mainly studying sciences or humanities.
