Kunsthaus Glarus – Afternoon for Everyone: Plein Air Drawing with Michael Honegger
We will start at the Kunsthaus and set off on foot on a sketching exploration tour focusing on the River Linth. Different locations will encourage us to adopt different approaches to seeing and drawing: the big picture, details, simplifications, and linear and two-dimensional perspectives. Our view of the landscape will also be a key theme. We will not be drawing traditional idyllic landscapes, but will instead attempt to engage with contemporary concepts. We’ll be walking for over an hour, and parts of the route are uphill.
You’re very welcome to bring your own drawing materials (e.g. an A3 or A2 sketchpad, various pencils) – spare materials and folding chairs will be provided.
The workshop will be held in German and will be led by Michael Honegger. Michael Honegger is an art teacher at Kanti Glarus. He enjoys drawing outdoors as a way of truly connecting with a place and the moment, and of becoming curious about what there is to see there. He will explore this immersion in the surroundings with you during the workshop.
Costs & Registration: The workshop is free of charge. Open to participants from age 14.
For further information and to register by 21 August, please contact: info@kunsthausglarus.ch
The workshop will only take place in good weather.
