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.

Andreas Kotulla - Drawing - Experiments and Explorations

€610.00

No free place

Sun 8/3/25 - 8/16/25

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.

03 Aug

Miriam Wahl - Painting

€330.00

No free place

Sun 8/3/25 - 8/8/25

Obere Altstadt Neuburg

Fine Arts

Painting is as complex as life and the people who, for mysterious reasons, keep reaching for paint and brushes. What am I looking for with and in painting? This workshop offers space and time to continue on your own artistic path and to work on old and new motifs, methods, questions and insights with support. The focus is on individual painting projects, which are further developed and supported in individual and group discussions. There will be no recipes or set techniques, but instead numerous exercises and suggestions to immerse yourself in the diverse world of painting and to train your gaze, sensitivity, sense of color and space in a playful, exploratory way and to get ideas for your own work. For example, we will become aware of the possibilities of artistic principles such as series, individual works or groups of works or various approaches to image creation, experiment with painting surfaces, collections of materials and the inexhaustible fund of our own view of the world. Trust in what we do, mutual inspiration and the joy of the painting means themselves are at the heart of this workshop.

All those who want to embark on an intensive painting process and are open to playfulness and the unexpected along the way are welcome.
