The Mural ‘‘Test Tube’’ was created during a two series of art workshops (the workshop‘‘Let’s Play Fairy Tales’’and workshop ‘‘Open Door’’) with children from Kinder- und Jugendzentrum B58.
Art workshops ‘’Let’s Play Fairy Tales’’ are inspired by fairy tales and social games.
Thery are therefore designed as an game during which imagination is creatively expressed.
Within workshops, by making masks of their favourite character from a fairy tale, drawing their favourite character from a fairy tale, making scenography for a fairy tale- mural, stage, using make-up to look like a character from a fairy tale, I tried to introduce children to the art and hand work in order to develop their creativity and dexterity.
Workshops ‘’Let’s Play Fairy Tales’’ , aim to bring together different forms of fine art, giving each child an opportunity to express himself/herself in different ways, and thus express an affinity for one of the offered activities,
Result of workshop are masks, drawings, performance ,scenography, joint mural.

ART WORKSHOPS II
‘’Open Door’’
(workshops of completing the joint mural)
Using children's pictures on the wall which were created in the previous phase of the workshops for children, I started a work of the collage structure in the form of a mural entitled ‘’Test Tube.’’(workshops of completing the joint mural)
The abstract images on the wall of the former factory with intense murals inspired me to start working on this topic.
During the workshops ‘’Open Door’’ which lasted for a month,the children joined me in completing my work.
They were finishing their pictures and painting ready-made objects, machine parts, which I later incorporated into the mural.
DETAILS
CONCLUSION
We have made this mural inspired by each other.
It was at the same time the answer to the question I asked at the beginning of the project: How to achieve joint work and move away from the generally well-known clichés: topics, tasks, insisting on uniform handwriting
