ZOOM IN ON THE STREET

Drawing and animated film after Käthe Kollwitz

Let the works, themes and working methods of Käthe Kollwitz inspire you to create an animated film. The artist Käthe Kollwitz drew people on the street and also saw who is often overlooked: The poor, the marginalised and the hopeless.

What do Berlin’s streets and squares look like today? Observe life on Mierendorffplatz in the north of Charlottenburg, where bourgeoisie and decline go hand in hand. Here you will draw and write and make sound recordings. You will then process your results and impressions into paper claymation animations, write a script and create storyboards or backdrops. You will learn more about the work that goes into the films, animated films and comics that we consume every day. After all, telling stories requires not only creativity, but also craftsmanship and technical knowledge.

iPads will be provided during the course.
