Aktzeichnen! Zwischen Anatomie, Individualität und Dynamik

In the organizer's words:

Sharpen your view of the human body! At Haus Bastian - Center for Cultural Education and the Altes Museum, you have the opportunity to capture bodies and identities in their diversity and uniqueness through drawing and painting. Accompanied by the artist Ellen Louise Weise, you will try out different techniques and forms of expression. Changing nude models and encounters with the sculptures in the Altes Museum open up new perspectives. The artistic process of experiencing and depicting stroke by stroke can break with idealized body norms and create space for something new. Materials such as clipboards, easels, paper, acrylic paints and brushes as well as drawing utensils are available. You are welcome to bring a sketchbook or favorite material. Four dates take place in Haus Bastian, two dates in the Altes Museum. No previous experience is required.

The artist Ellen Louise Weise(www.ellen-louise-weise.de) studied scenic painting/theater painting at the Dresden University of Fine Arts. In 2024, she completed further training in cultural education (WeTeK Berlin / Alice Salomon Hochschule) and now combines her artistic work with art education at art and cultural institutions. She has been running nude drawing courses in her studio and at various art venues since 2009. The focus of her nude drawing work is not only on capturing the anatomical proportions, but above all on recognizing the unique personality of each model.
