At the end of the three-day workshop “Wooden Fantasy Creatures” with artists Georg Fuchssteiner and Peter Herr, the works of art created by the school children will be presented in the scope of a joint exhibition. Parents and teachers are cordially invited to the vernissage on Friday, May 6, 2022 at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.

“Wooden Fantasy Creatures” is an art project by painter Georg Fuchssteiner and graphic artist and modeler Peter Herr with pupils of the Kollnburg Elementary School. It will take place from May 4 – May 6, 2022. The two artists are based in Bogen and Berlin. Since 2011, they have been running the PHANTASIEWERKSTATT BOGEN, where artists teach various artistic disciplines such as painting, printing, woodcutting and ceramic techniques. With art educational expertise, the two artists will introduce the role and profession of an artist to children in the third and fourth grade of elementary school. Inspired by a story, the children will make sketches, on the basis of which they create colored wooden figures. Moreover, the effect on the viewer and the interplay of colors are taught theoretically and put into practice.

The art project “Wooden Fantasy Creatures” is part of the program "Künstler in der Grundschule” of the Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Culture, Science and the Arts, supported by the Government of Lower Bavaria and the Municipality of Kollnburg.
