Program

5-day Art Course, Monday - Friday

10.00-12.00 Art History Class

13.00-15.00 Art Class

The course ends on Friday with an Art Tour through the Kunsthaus in Zurich

 

Are you interested in creating art and learning more about art and its history at the same time? Then this course is for you! Together we dive into the world of art and make a trip through the centuries from the Middle Ages via the Renaissance and Modern times until today. A few weeks before the course starts, we kick off with a workgroup meeting where each student explains why and in which art topic he or she is interested. During the morning art history class, the by me developed personalized program, based on the subject of your choice, will be discussed and examined. In the afternoon at art class you create an artwork inspired by what is learned at art history class. The goal here is not to make the perfect painting or drawing but try to come close to the emotions, style and techniques of the great artists of yesteryear!

Art Workshop in Küsnacht!

Frühlungsferien activity!!!

   Workshop for kids ‘Children of the Renaissance’

 

        Location:

           Art Class Küsnacht

            Zürichstrasse 150, Küsnacht

 

The Renaissance was an explosion of ideas, education and literacy for adults. But what about the children during the Renaissance? Even though they were allowed to play, they were expected to act, talk and dress like adults. Children were treated like small adults. Especially the princes and princesses from the wealthy courts. They had the best teachers, the best books and the most expensive clothes. Clothing was an important status symbol during the Renaissance. During this workshop we are going to take a closer look to the children portraits of the Renaissance. How are their expensive garments depicted? Sometimes it’s so beautifully done, you can almost feel the texture of the satin and velvet. In the second part of the workshop you are going to try to achieve the same result by painting a child portrait in Renaissance style.

Art Workshop in Küsnacht!

Frühlungsferien activity!!!

  Workshop for kids ‘Animals in Art’

Location:

Art Class Küsnacht

Zürichstrasse 150, Küsnacht

     

Animals have been a source of inspiration for many artists. From art about rural life and growth, to myths and legends, animals are used in art in many different ways. Art can help us explore our relationship to wildlife. For the earliest artists, animals were the principal subject, during the Middle Ages animals were treated as symbols. And during the Renaissance draughtsman made fine studies of animals. This and a lot more interesting stories you will hear in the first half of the workshop. After a small break you are going to create your own artwork with animals as main topic.
