Forget the usual weekend plans and grab a sketchbook to capture the secret world of insects. Kei is here to guide your hand as you craft your own tiny creatures, blending artistic precision with pure creative madness. Whether your beetles are scientifically accurate or wonderfully bizarre, you will leave with a personal collection of weird and colorful portraits.
The Maurice Genevoix library invites children aged 9 and up to a creative illustration workshop on Saturday, November 28, 2026. Guided by the artist Kei, participants will first explore the "Drôles d'insectes" exhibition before creating their own portraits of real or imaginary insects. This engaging session is completely free to attend. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users and provides adaptations for those with cognitive disabilities. Given the limited capacity, prior registration with the library staff is mandatory to secure your spot for this unique afternoon of artistic expression.
On Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 16:00 to 17:20, the Maurice Genevoix library in the 18th arrondissement hosts a special drawing workshop. Kids from the age of 9 are invited to delve into the "Drôles d'insectes" exhibition as a source of inspiration. Under the expert advice of Kei, participants will then focus on illustrating their favorite insects, whether they wish to capture them realistically or invent whimsical new versions to form a unique portrait gallery.
This event is designed to be inclusive, offering full access for wheelchair users and specific adaptations for visitors with cognitive disabilities. Although the workshop is free, space is limited, making registration essential. You can sign up by speaking with the librarians directly, calling the library, or sending an email. Be sure to book early to guarantee your attendance at this creative session.
