Would you like to really immerse yourself in art? Then our new kunst:wissen format is just right for you! This interactive series of seminars focuses on a specific topic and turns you into an expert in the field. The Academy's consecutive units allow for an intensive, multi-layered and targeted examination of the respective topic.
Variety is guaranteed: in addition to the close examination of originals, you can get very close to the art using high-resolution images, X-ray images and the like.
Appropriate comparative examples help to place the objects in larger art and cultural-historical contexts and to build a bridge to the present day. Short assignments and simple practical tasks invite students to become active themselves.
In addition, the academy format allows participants to engage in conversation with other art enthusiasts: Working in small groups of max. 15 people per course provides space for looking at art together, your own thoughts, discussions and questions.
The course materials include summaries, literature tips and further suggestions for independent in-depth study!
