How do you print? Together we will draw, cut, and roll in our holiday printing studio. There is a lot to discover: be inspired by the works at the Kunstpalast, create your own sketches and duplicate them using a variety of printing techniques.
At the end, we will bind the results in our handmade artist’s book and present them to our families. We are happy to welcome you!

In this workshop, you will design your own digital fashion – from the initial idea to the virtual fashion show. You will start with pen and paper and then bring your ideas into three-dimensional space: using VR glasses, you will design directly in 3D, experimenting with proportions, volume and details. Step by step, we will show you how to place your finished outfit on an avatar and move it through a virtual space. Finally, we will present your designs in a joint virtual fashion show.
No prior knowledge is required – curiosity and a desire to experiment are all you need.
The workshop is run by FemReality – an organisation that opens up creative and accessible paths into digital worlds. (www.femreality.com)

In this holiday course, we’ll be sculpting fantastic faces, creating animals and bringing figures to life. Inspired by Daumier, Picasso and other artists featured in the exhibition, we’ll design our own little sculptures and imaginative works of art. We’ll be drawing, painting and experimenting with shapes, colours and materials – we’ll also let chance take us by surprise, and to finish off, we’ll put on a little exhibition for our families. We look forward to seeing you!

In this holiday course, we will learn about works by famous artists such as Monet, Cézanne and Matisse and explore their working methods in a playful way. In the Palast Studio – and, weather permitting, outside in the courtyard of the Kunstpalast – we will have fun creating our own works inspired by the exhibition. We will paint with watercolours, wax paints and acrylics, using dots, strokes and surfaces. We will do exciting drawing exercises and collage strong, colourful pictures – all using a wide variety of materials. We will also let chance surprise us and, at the end, we will put on a small exhibition for our families. We look forward to seeing you!

We are excited about the long June evenings, pack our drawing materials and go outside. In fast sketches we capture the summer scene. The light of the setting sun reflects in the water of the fountain and under the buildings’ shades paly a few people boule. The Ehrenhof acts as an atmospheric stage, ready to draw.

Think about your childhood. How do you picture it? Is it playful, full of laughter or serious? The depiction of children in art history changed over the centuries: Since the Middle Ages they were shown like small adults. Today, however, childhood is distinct stage of characterized by experimentation, play, social interaction, and the emotions that go along with them. The art works bear witness to the societal change. Reflect on your own experiences as well and capture them in your drawings.
