Discover the colourful world of Petrykivka Ukrainian Folk Art in a fun and engaging environment! Young artists will explore a unique painting technique that originated in Ukraine in the 17th century and has been passed down through generations.
Children will learn traditional Petrykivka brushstrokes and create beautiful flowers, leaves, berries, birds, and decorative patterns inspired by nature. Petrykivka art is rich in symbolism, with its flowers, birds, plants, and colours carrying special meanings connected to family, happiness, love, prosperity, harmony, and protection.
Step by step, children will create their own colourful compositions while discovering the stories and traditions behind the symbols they paint. Each class encourages creativity, builds artistic confidence, develops fine motor skills, and helps young artists connect with and preserve the beauty of Ukrainian cultural heritage.
