€300.00

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

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.

The course is aimed at string and wind instruments, as well as percussion, who play together in an ensemble formed by the course leader and participants in various configurations to work on and perform works, including folk music.

The course leader Yu Chuan is a master of the erhu, a traditional Chinese two-stringed string instrument that is not only used to perform traditional Chinese music, but is now also used to play transcriptions of works by Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saens, and other composers.

His compositions and transcriptions of well-known works in various configurations, which are now part of the standard repertoire in Asian concert halls, attract particular attention.

In addition to his concert appearances as a soloist and chamber musician in Asia and the West, Yu Chuan teaches erhu, conducting, and composition at the University of Beijing and is the musical director of the Beijing Wujie Chamber Orchestra.
The premiere of his children's musical “If instruments could speak” took place in 2023.

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

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

€560.00

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.
