Dear friends of the Neuburg Summer Academy,
this year's program of fine arts offers two courses from new lecturers: for the field of painting we were able to recruit Michael Lukas as new lecturer, who was already a lecturer in Neuburg in 2018. Completely new is the offer of a comic drawing course for teenagers between 13-18 years. The course closes a gap in the existing offer between courses for children and adults. The lecturer is Lisa Brede, who as an aspiring art teacher is particularly able to respond to the needs and interests of young people.
The aim of all courses is to take up, promote and further develop the individual interests and strengths of the participants. Continuing existing projects, developing new ideas and approaches, experimenting with new techniques or approaches – for all this the lecturers offer freedom and support in their courses. They are therefore generally open to beginners as well as to people who have already gained experience in the respective field of work. The courses are also suitable to prepare for an entrance examination at an art academy or art college. In this sense, we look forward to receiving applications from different age groups and professional fields, because it is precisely in this unique mix that the strength of the Neuburger Sommerakademie develops in its engagement, education and enthusiasm with, from and for art.

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.

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.

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.

My approach consists of drawings, pictures, photos, video recordings and own texts which are either unfinished or do not have an effect on the proper place. We breathe new life into them developing them further. Fears of contacts and blockades disappear by extending the medium. Perhaps a new process or form is needed in order to keep on working on the original ones. The new medium probably helps to realize that you were too restricted and that there are other forms which are more fun or which suit you better. What could you do with your own drawings or the many photos lying in a box or waiting on your hard disk? Perhaps there will be a new composition and connection with other materials, memories and images. I will offer a beamer and a camera so that we are able to experiment with projections, sound and light. Furthermore, I will provide a scanner and a printer (black and white).

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.

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.

How do I find my own picture language? In order to respond to this question, I would like to provide you a path with a wide range of exercises for different techniques of painting, drawing and printing. Concrete subjects will be graphically realised and implemented in acryl painting. Furthermore, you will get the chance to discover printing techniques like monotype or dry point etching. In the morning, there will be further exercises for the science of colour and composition. In the afternoon, free working is at the focus.
The variety of suggestions will give you the opportunity to discover your strengths and preferences, to test them in change of techniques in order to develop your own pictorial language.
