Summer camp – Week 1 : Marcel Duchamp

Week 1 : Marcel Duchamp

During this first week, children will discover Marcel Duchamp, the artist who changed the history of art forever. Inventor of the ready-made, Duchamp shifted the focus from the object itself to the idea behind it, introducing a playful and imaginative approach to art. Visionary, humorous, and endlessly creative, he remains one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and an essential doorway to understanding contemporary art.

Inspired by Duchamp’s spirit, children will create their own ready-mades, explore movement, and play with shapes and functions to imagine unique and surprising artworks. This week encourages free creativity, experimentation, and the joy of turning everyday objects into art.
