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.

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 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.
