03 Aug

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

€560.00

No free place

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.

03 Aug

Serena Ferrario - Collage - Image and space

€300.00

9 free spaces

Sun 8/3/25 - 8/9/25

Obere Altstadt Neuburg

Fine Arts

My approach consists of drawings, pictures, photos, video recordings and own texts which are either unfinished or do not have an effect on the proper place. We breathe new life into them developing them further. Fears of contacts and blockades disappear by extending the medium. Perhaps a new process or form is needed in order to keep on working on the original ones. The new medium probably helps to realize that you were too restricted and that there are other forms which are more fun or which suit you better. What could you do with your own drawings or the many photos lying in a box or waiting on your hard disk? Perhaps there will be a new composition and connection with other materials, memories and images. I will offer a beamer and a camera so that we are able to experiment with projections, sound and light. Furthermore, I will provide a scanner and a printer (black and white).

03 Aug

You have already completed the children’s academy or you are already too old for the children’s academy but you still want to experiment creatively? The youth atelier is the correct place to be since aspiring artists between 11 and 16 years will get the opportunity to discover - step by step - the four big fields of visual arts – painting, graphic, sculpture and photography – and the handicrafts of technical and textile design.

Meike Dölp - Collage - Object and material

€560.00

6 free spaces

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

Obere Altstadt

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

€560.00

Not bookable

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

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.

The use of various, “unusual” tools, such as cutters, drills, cutting tools or even chainsaws and Dremels is also conceivable. Unusual substrates, i. e. not only paper, but also textiles and plastics can be brought along and used. The tools and materials should be brought with you or certain errands should be agreed with the group.
