SALZBURG, KUNST und BERGE: Holzdruck und Holzschnitt

art experiences with woodcut and wood printing, drawing and painting, writing and printing – creativity and nature art experiences for teachers – get to know different ways of art and possibilities how to use art (woodcut and woodprint) in school.
The course is designed for the professional development of school education staff, supported with Erasmus+ funding (Key Action 1: Mobility project for school education staff).

This is what our course offers:
getting to know art, especially woodcut, woodprint and poster design, as another global language and learning to use it together, promoting creativity as a human quality in everyday school life and using it in various subjects, discovering nature and mountains as a source of inspiration and getting to know Salzburg as a world-renowned UNESCO cultural heritage city.

We are a team of teachers and artists from different European countries and with different subject combinations. Our philosophy: Art is the first „foreign“ language we learn in school and we can share our ideas worldwide with art. Woodcut is a natural printing technique to reproduce our ideas. Wood is a perfect material for expression with a long tradition (China, Japan, Dürer, Expressionism, Munch, Hokusai,..).

You stay in the Art Chalet Vorderschuhzach (1000 meters sealevel, mountain view) and you can use all materials there. You can choose your working place (outside, inside). You can work alone or with other artists, you can ask for help, you can cook together or alone, you can choose your working hours, you can enjoy the mountains, the view, the sunset, the fireplace, you can go for walking, climbing or to town (just 3km distance to the city center)
Drawing in the nature, design for land art objects, exploring with natural materials, wood objects, wood printings, woodcut, mosaic, photography, and so on.
