Guided tours with motion – guided tours that move

A guided tour of the Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum in combination with expressive exercises is supposed to provide an

intense experience of the artist’s work and (especially for children and young persons) to build a personal bridge

to the predominant subject matters such as poverty, war, violence and sorrow.

Both the plastic and the graphic work of the artist are very suitable to translate the respective emotional content as well

as the inherent dynamic and dramatic characteristics into motion, to express and understand moods and to let them

“develop” again into the sculpture.

According to the age of the young participants, the guided tour focuses on particular subject matters.

The works of art are chosen accordingly to be afterwards developed by and translated into motion in the museum’s

cupola hall, which also includes setting the participants comprehensively in (mental) motion.

Drawing - Painting - Sculpture, workshops in the Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum

Presentations of ‘mother with child’ are one of the most important subject matters of Käthe Kollwitz’s artistic works.

Contemplating the drawings and sculptures, children compare and scrutinize aspects of childhood in the

past and the present.

The creation of drawings with the technique of potato printing makes the programme complete.
