At least 30 children who had practiced systematically in the genre of painting have presented 157 artworks on the same panel. The “Golden Hands” exhibition opened its 8th edition. On June 1st, in collaboration with National Historical Museum, this exhibition was presented to the public in the main hall of this institution. In his greeting speech, the director of the National Historical Museum, Mr. Dorian Koçi praised the artworks of the young painters as “masterly”. “The opening of this exhibition takes place on a blessed day like June 1st. And precisely this holiday, this date becomes the meeting point for everyone, because any of us, which grows in age and professionally, has always in itself a part of being a child. The museum, with its educational programs, has been and will always be open and welcoming to such events related to children’s education”, said Mr. Koçi. 30 children of different age groups in Tirana, from 8 to 16 years old, for the eighth consecutive year have opened the exhibition titled “Golden Hands”, thanks to the instructions and teachings of the artist Rivelina Boshnjaku, who also is a compiler of textbooks for Figurative Arts. It should be emphasized that the pedagogy with such young artists involves individual work, far from the old method where all participants in the session practiced and worked the same pattern. Mrs. Boshnjaku has 15 years of experience working with children and vulnerable groups such as women and children in conflict with the law, children with special needs and people of third age. This eighth edition of “Golden Hands” consisted in the promotion of artistic skills, giving a particular importance to the application of various pictorial techniques as an important and highly individual element to express the artist’s world. And it does not end there. Mrs. Boshnjaku said that in the new season, which is expected to start in September, will be released another exhibition by young painters for June 2018.
