Please note: The workshop will be held in German.

The Scharf Collection ranges from 19th and 20th century French art to contemporary international works. Highlights include pieces by Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Pierre Bonnard, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Katharina Grosse.
We draw on this diversity in our series of workshops for adults, taking inspiration from the exhibition. Once a month, we focus on a particular artistic technique or motif and get creative ourselves.

In April, the focus is on portraits. Whether commissioned or a token of friendship, portraits have been an expression of personality and identity for centuries.
We explore gaze, expression and proportions and create our own versions.

In March, the focus is on landscapes. Depictions of nature are a central motif in art history and are also well represented in the exhibition. In the workshop, we explore different methods of capturing our own designs on paper or canvas.

Selfie or ruler’s portrait – depicting people has always been a fundamental skill for artists. What distinguishes the other person? How can one capture the personality? In this workshop we will observe the characteristic trademarks of our counterpart so that we will be able to capture them in a drawing. Each one of us takes turns to be the model: you portray another and also have someone portrait you.
Either beginner or advanced – everyone is welcome to join!

Come by and get creative together. In this Open Studio, we will combine art and science.
Do you already know the four elements: fire, water, earth and air? Do you also have an idea what the fifth could be? In the exhibition, you can look into this mystery, experiment in the Kraftlabor, and create your own artwork on the first floor.
