Jochen Pankrath - Malerei-sehen – malen – denken -Woche 1+2

€330.00

5 free spaces

Sun 8/2/26 - 8/8/26

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.

€330.00

6 free spaces

Sun 8/2/26 - 8/8/26

Obere Altstadt Neuburg

Fine Arts

Landscape and architecture - drawing and painting in the open air
Motifs in nature and/or in an urban context (urban sketching) are our starting point: we put our impressions on site on paper or on canvas. Each participant finds a personal approach to artistically dealing with the place and the time spent there. The focus should be on the process, the experiment and the experience, not the result.
Topics such as horizon, perspective, plot, composition, structures, light and shadow, Lo sfumato, La sprezzatura etc. are discussed and, if necessary, expanded upon.
Depending on the weather and location, different materials can be used and combined in unusual ways.

Andreas Kotulla - Drawing - Experiments and Explorations (beide Wochen)

€560.00

5 free spaces

Sun 8/2/26 - 8/15/26

Obere Altstadt

Fine Arts

For my artistic approach, it is essential to transfer aesthetic concepts and experiences from one medium to another. For drawing and for the course, this means, among other things, starting from the question: How does the space get into the surface ¬– and the drawing into the space?
I would like to encourage and support the participants to develop a personal approach to this issue and their own forms of expression, using as wide a range of techniques and materials as possible, from classic drawing techniques to more unconventional means.
Individual and group discussions about the experiences gained in drawing experiments should also be accompanied by occasional excursions into art history and visits to exhibitions on the subject.
