Paderborn-Schloss Neuhaus. For the 14th time, the Cultural Office of the City of Paderborn is presenting the Summer Academy around the Neuhaus palace. On Thursday, August 21, from 6 to 10 p.m., everyone interested has the chance to gain a unique insight into the studios and the works created so far by the roughly 100 participants. In the seminar “Nude Painting”, the Cologne-based artist Gönül Sen-Menzel demonstrated the wide range of the human body. Other lecturers were Otmar Alt and Brigitte Keller, who encouraged “experimental work with different materials through collage”. Peter Nettesheim was primarily concerned with “developing an independent sculptural concept” for creating wooden sculptures. Prof. Rolf Kuhrt, head of the seminar “Figurative Drawing”: “Drawing teaches you to see properly. It should challenge and promote the imagination and the sense of form of the person drawing.”
