Through paintings, engravings, embroidery, cartoons and posters, children explore the ways in which the cypress tree is represented in art and investigate its symbolic, historical and aesthetic significance within Cypriot culture.
During their tour of the Museum, participants discover important aspects of Cyprus’s history and learn how artists and craftspeople depicted the cypress tree in a variety of artistic forms. By closely observing the artworks, they gain an understanding of the relationship between nature, artistic expression and the island’s cultural heritage.
The programme concludes with a creative workshop, where children design and create their own festive greeting card using drawing materials, reproductions of artworks from the Collection and a variety of decorative elements. This hands-on activity encourages creative expression while highlighting the close relationship between art and the natural and cultural heritage of Cyprus.
