Katrin Schoess- Landscape and Architecture - Drawing and Painting in the Open Air

€330.00

5 free spaces

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

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.

Early Music

After teaching alongside Emma Kirkby in Neuburg for the first time in 2023, I am particularly looking forward to being back in 2024. This time with a class that has "doubled" in size. All participants will have the opportunity to receive individual lessons from both Emma and myself. In addition, "team teaching units" with Emma and myself are planned, which proved to be extremely successful last year.

Meike Dölp - Collage - Object and material

€330.00

5 free spaces

Mon 8/11/25 - 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.

Miriam Wahl - Painting

€330.00

1 free place

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

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.

Uli Zwerenz - Painting — from a splash of paint to a picture (Week 2)

€330.00

No free place

Mon 8/11/25 - 8/16/25

Fine Arts

Through open-ended work that starts with the process of applying paint, the possibilities for finding an individual image should be experienced.
The dialogue between imagination and perception should open up space for changing and expanding one's own painting.
The course begins with an introduction to the production of paints from pigments and binding agents. Various systems are shown: acrylic paints, egg tempera and oil paints.
During the course, you can work with ready-made paints or with ones you have prepared yourself. The basics of painting techniques and questions are explained.
The relationships between the image structure, composition and color should be questioned and developed during the painting process. By recognizing and avoiding arbitrariness, you should find your own way to finding and creating an autonomous painting.
