If your children like paper figurines and origami art, they will love this exhibition, since the authors are themselves. The exhibition "Greguerías en papel" is a tribute to origami and children who have interpreted the famous guerries of Gomez de la Serna.
The University Library of the Technological Campus of the Arms Factory of Toledo (University of Castilla-La Mancha) hosts this exhibition, whose full title is: "Greguerías on paper: manipulating humor and metaphor".
The exhibition includes various origami works inspired by the work of Ramón Gómez de la Serna and made by children from four to twelve years, participants in the Summer Schools.
The greguerías are small literary pieces that combine metaphor and humor, invented by Ramón Gómez de la Serna and that have received many interpretations. Being very plastic and descriptive texts, they can become illustrations, paintings, sculptures and even origami figures.
All a waste of imagination in its original author and certainly also in children's interpretations of visual images. During the workshop, the participating children received notions about the life and work of Gómez de la Serna, some of whose greguerías they met next.
It only remained to get to work and create "Greguerías on paper" that we can now see in this exhibition fruit of the playful teaching of art and literature to the little ones. Until October 31, it is exhibited in the University Library of the Technological Campus of the Arms Factory of Toledo.
