Paper is one of the inventions that has profoundly influenced and shaped our culture. Its function as a writing surface simplified the recording and reproduction of the written word. For us, the use of paper in many areas of our daily lives has become commonplace. In the creative field, we primarily use paper as a support for drawing, writing, and painting.

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.

Yke Prins - sculpture and object

€330.00

No free place

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

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.

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

€610.00

5 free spaces

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

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.

Volkshochschule Neuburg

Early Music

Following an inspiring Renaissance week at the last Summer Academy, the 2026 Summer Academy will take us musically to Great Britain. The focus will be on the period between approximately 1680 and 1760 – an era full of beauty, elegance, and expressiveness – with works by composers such as Henry Purcell and George Frideric Handel. Participants in the vocal course will receive instruction from Emma Kirkby and Florian Franke, as well as the opportunity to perform together with students from the instrumental courses. During the chamber music sessions, the instrumental instructors will also provide additional artistic inspiration. Course structure: Mornings: Individual lessons alternating between Emma Kirkby and Florian Franke. Afternoons: Ensemble and chamber music work with both instructors. This ensures that all participants receive daily inspiration from both teachers. A key component of the course is the opportunity to observe each other's individual lessons. Listening and observing together is strongly encouraged, as it provides valuable insights and learning experiences and enriches the vocal development of all participants.

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.
