Cultural Education 

Heidrun Heil

 

I am passionate about art and culture. Are you too? 
There is no certain record of who first uttered the following bon mot which is 
a pun in German and can only be translated very roughly: 
"Art comes from skill and not from will."
I always have to smile when I hear that phrase. And yet it contrasts with my approach. 
For me, art comes from creativity - fortunately, that's still what art is called. 

 

That's why I offer art workshops, museum tours, artistic guidance for elders and persons with dementia, and introductory speeches. As an art historian and English specialist, I have made my joy of art and creativity my profession.

My philosophy

Trying out art for yourself and discovering your own artistic expression with different techniques can be an extremely gratifying experience. Art offers every freedom for this: There is no wrong or right, and it is always an adventure to engage in one's own creativity, whether with brush or pencil, or to gain new insights for oneself simply by looking at it. 
Art offers impulses for our lives. Even the process of looking at a picture is a creative process. When a discussion about it gets underway, it becomes even more exciting. 

I am happy to help with this, with enthusiasm and competence.
