Anna-Maria Kursawe - Painting - On the Relationship between Objectivity and Abstraction

Anna-Maria Kursawe - Painting - On the Relationship between Objectivity and Abstraction

€610.00
Not bookable
Sun 8/3/25 - 8/16/25
Fine Arts
The focus of the course is the clarification and further development of own pictorial concepts in the field of tension between representativeness and abstraction. The basis is perception, natural vision (in contrast to the camera's gaze), direct contact with things, precise observation, one's own fresh gaze rubbing against reality, because the training of the gaze is also necessary for abstract work. As a result of spatial-object representations, abstract compositions can be created that structure the image surface with their own pictorial rhythm. The course offers individual support on the way to the further development of one's own visual language. It is aimed at people with several years of painting practice.

Fine Arts
Everything can be art, BUT art cannot be everything. We need challenges of the real life in order to meet them artistically. Everything can be art: shopping lists, crosswords, old child’s drawings, city maps, fake eye lashes, construction plans… simply everything! It only depends on how we include the things into the artistical process and which issue we want to deal with. In this course, we use all things collected in our households and which are of no use any longer but are not to simply thrown away. This “stuff” can be reason, motive or material for pictorial working as it is analysed, changed, arranged or associated becoming meaningful. In this course, pictorial working is not limited to one technique or medium but crosses such borders so that every participant is accompanied to achieve his or her best possible realisation of his or her pictorial idea. We approach objects differently and create new connections at the same time. This course is suitable for beginners and advanced students.

Yke Prins - sculpture and object

Obere Altstadt Neuburg
Fine Arts
This course provides space for diverse, three-dimensional working with classic materials (i.e. metal, clay, paper, plaster, wood, no stone processing) and it broadens the view for other surprising materials and strategies. Every day there is an offer to take part in a little, playful practical exercise of three-dimensional thinking. Inspired by works of contemporary artists, there are little “morning exercises” which should challenge the participants to discover together new material and space. These exercises will help to develop discovering new possibilities for your own individual work and to learn from the ideas and strategies of others. The focus will lie on developing and realising individual ideas – figurative, abstract or installative. This course is suitable for persons who have already gained experience in three-dimensional designing as well as for beginners who want to gain basic knowledge.

Uli Zwerenz - Painting — from a splash of paint to a picture(Week-One)

€330.00
No free place
Sun 8/3/25 - 8/8/25
Fine Arts
Through open-ended work that starts with the process of applying paint, the possibilities for finding an individual image should be experienced.
The dialogue between imagination and perception should open up space for changing and expanding one's own painting.
The course begins with an introduction to the production of paints from pigments and binding agents. Various systems are shown: acrylic paints, egg tempera and oil paints.
During the course, you can work with ready-made paints or with ones you have prepared yourself. The basics of painting techniques and questions are explained.
The relationships between the image structure, composition and color should be questioned and developed during the painting process. By recognizing and avoiding arbitrariness, you should find your own way to finding and creating an autonomous painting.
