10/10/26: The Modernists Artists of Casablanca: Farid Belkahia, Mohamed Melehi, Mohammed Chabâa and Malika Agueznay
The Casablanca Art School (1960s–1970s) was a groundbreaking movement led by artists such as Farid Belkahia, Mohammed Melehi, Mohamed Chabâa and later joined by Malika Agueznay They wanted to break away from colonial Orientalist styles and create a modern Moroccan visual language using, geometric shapes, bold colours, local craft traditions (Berber rugs, woodwork, calligraphy). The aim was to distance themselves from colonialist influences and make art inspired by their own culture and daily lives.
For this workshop, your child will create 2D shapes based on daily objects (cups, bowls etc) and organic materials (Leaves, flowers, sticks, pebbles etc) to make their own patterns and create an imaginative and colourful composition.
