11. “Grätzlmarie” projects: focus on art & culture

11.6 Action painting in the park

Experimenting with colours, learning about abstract art and romping about – this was the goal of the action painting event in Laubepark. The young participants worked with many different materials and tried out spray, shake or drip techniques, in this way forming a first impression of abstract art.

In all, 35 children and young people aged between three and 16 years and even some of the parents joined in. The finished artworks were taken home by their creators.
