Madame du Pompadour & identity
Magic carpet workshops are for families and under fives, they last 30 minutes and explore a painting at the National Gallery.
We explored Madame du Pompadour and her tambour frame, and the Baroque period. We took the theme of identity as a starting point, referring to Madame du Pompadour and the things she liked to do and our names and the things we like to do.

Through demonstration, participation, creativity & performance we explored:
Baroque music: tonality, chord patterns, scales, pulse, trills, turns & balanced melodic phrasing.
Concrete sounds: dog barking, shoes tapping,
Abstract sounds: sowing, pearl necklace, frills & flowers on dress, curves on furniture
