Arts & Crafts – Courses in English

Have you always dreamed of painting and creating your own art? Realise your vision and start painting now! In this course you will learn or revise fundamental techniques and, with guidance, transfer your ideas to paper. The result will be as varied as its creators. Acrylic paints are most suitable for this course, however, if you would prefer to work with other materials, please feel free to bring them along.

Create your own character, whether it be a hero or a monster! You are interested in comic, manga or anime or you want to use your drawing and painting skills through illustration, computer games or film production? We will look at basic methods of character design as well as proportion, shape, perspective, deformation, body language, expressions, mimics, anatomy and texturing. You will use your skills and imagination to create your own characters: heroes, beauties, cuties, monsters, animals, aliens, machinery – let your imagination run wild.

The aim is to develop skills in using pencil and paper and to develop an eye for the essentials. The focus is on depicting basic shapes, proportions, spatiality and hatching. You can work with all classic drawing materials, but also use coloured pencils or watercolours for colourful design. The teacher will guide you individually according to your level of knowledge.
