Summer Academy for Painting and Drawing at Schafhof: An Artistic Experience Between Light, Line, and Nature

The Summer Academy for Painting and Drawing transforms the Schafhof in Freising into a place of concentrated artistic work. In the special atmosphere of the European Art Forum, observation, experimentation, and personal work reflection come together. Those interested in painting, drawing, and cultural education will experience a format that not only showcases art but makes it tangible as a creative process.

Painting in Nature: Learning to See with All Senses

At the center are the fundamentals and possibilities of painting: color, light value, spatiality, representation, and abstraction. The Summer Academy emphasizes immediate work in dialogue with nature. Lines become movements, surfaces become moods, color spaces become atmospheric narratives. It is precisely this connection between aesthetic experience and craftsmanship that makes the offer appealing.

Drawing as a Precise Language of Perception

Drawing opens a direct access to artistic form-finding. Whether with pencil, charcoal, or other materials: the stroke becomes an instrument of understanding. Participants approach motifs, bodies, landscapes, and structures with great attention. This creates a learning space where artistic development and individual support converge.

A Place with Art Historical Charisma

The Schafhof is an established venue for contemporary art, art education, and cultural encounters as the European Art Forum Upper Bavaria. Its location above Freising, the proximity to landscape and architecture, and the barrier-free accessibility give the venue an open, inviting exhibition atmosphere. Those who paint or draw here do not work in a vacuum but in a space with history, present, and artistic identity.

Leadership with Experience and Artistic Depth

The course leaders Cornelia Eichacker and Sabine Berr stand for a practice-oriented and artistically grounded education. Cornelia Eichacker is known for her engagement with painting, color, and drawing; Sabine Berr combines artistic practice with an eye for perception, nature, and formal clarity. Their work and teaching concepts show how closely artistic freedom and professional support are interconnected.

Visit, Access, and Conditions

The Schafhof is easily accessible, with exhibition spaces and the café being barrier-free. For those interested in art, museum education, and creative summer formats, the Summer Academy offers an inspiring environment. The visit is worthwhile not only for active participants but also for all who wish to experience cultural education in its most vibrant form.

Conclusion: The Summer Academy for Painting and Drawing combines experiences in nature, artistic practice, and art historical thinking into an intense summer theme. Anyone who wants to understand painting and drawing not just by observing but by doing should definitely visit the Schafhof in Freising live.
