One-day workshop Der Weg der Farbe

The day trip begins in the morning with a visit to the Lascaux company in Brüttisellen. Lascaux is the world’s leading manufacturer of water-based artist paints.

During a behind-the-scenes tour, the class will learn how the high-quality paints are mixed from various materials. The second part of the day, in the afternoon, takes the group to the Museum Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich. Here, too, the focus is on colour. Directly in front of selected artworks, the group will explore the many possibilities of colour composition and will then create their own paintings in the studio, inspired by the Lascaux paints.

The video portrait of the Lascaux company can be watched in advance as preparation in the classroom with students from 4th grade onwards. (Based on experience, the video is too complex and difficult to understand for school classes in 2nd and 3rd grade.)
