             In collaboration with Latvia Contemporary Art Center within project “MEISTARKLASES LATVIJAS MĀKSLAS SKOLĀS” (MASTERCLASSES IN LATVIA ART SCHOOLS) masterclass of Purvītis award 2016 winner Anda Lāce “7 performances un zīmējumu teātris” (7 Performances and Drawing Theatre) took place in February 7 and 8 in Alūksne Art School. In masterclass participated 17 students of Professional Introduction and Interest Education programme of Alūksne Art School.

              Participants had to prepare home work - drawing “I dont like…” Working together with artist children wrote their stories about things they are concerned and they dont like. They prepared big paper sheets for painting and attached them to the wall. Next day the “Dont like” drawing was projected to the sheets of paper on the wall and over them were painted positive - opposite feelings. Participants gained new experience, dared to go before their audience, reveal their feelings and thoughts and show them in visual images.
