Open Course: Life drawing

Practise your sense of proportion – every Monday, no booking required!

Here you’ll have the chance to sharpen your eye for the countless facets of the human body and improve your skills in drawing anatomy and proportions. In the atmospheric Freiraum, you can make your first attempts or deepen and expand your skills. Artistic director Katharina Reinsbach is on hand to answer any questions or offer feedback. Simply pop along to the Freiraum and learn and draw in the creative atmosphere. This is an open course with no obligation to attend regularly.

Due to high demand and limited space, we recommend arriving as early as 3.45 pm.
