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.

Sun 8/3/25 - 8/8/25
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.

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

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

€560.00
1 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.

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.
