Autumn break course

Ever wanted to learn how to draw a portrait or a self-portrait?

This holiday course focuses on the human face. When were the first portraits created, and why? What colours and materials were used? You’ll have fun exploring different techniques for depicting a face, whether with pen and ink, pencil and charcoal, or paints and modelling clay… But we’ll also be using balloons and photos, and you can even print a face using cola! Best of all: a truly great artist and a master of the self-portrait will be helping us – Käthe Kollwitz! Because, of course, we’ll be taking a very close look at her depictions of faces in the museum. Her entire life can be read from them.

In charge: Katharina Grantner
