Jerney- a Slovenian draughtsman through and through

Jerney came to us from Slovenia and was the most unusual participant in the last few semesters. Jerney came without much knowledge, but with concrete ideas about art and the world. He was mainly focused on drawing and did so without ceasing, even after school and on weekends. His idea of ​​good drawing was very limited in the beginning, but towards the end of the second semester it changed more and more and in the third semester his work was characterized by a lot more looseness and we had the feeling that he had gotten away from too strong ideas. It was clear from the beginning that Jerney did not want to apply to an academy and so far he has kept his word.

Maybe he’ll start working with his acquired skills as a tattoo artist, maybe he’ll be ready for a study application next year. We are so happy that he had a lot of fun with us and is on a really good way.

Mariia- from Russia to Berlin

Mariia came to us from Russia. Since she has lived in Germany for some time, she speaks and understands German very well. She already worked as a product manager and brought with her relevant life and work experiences. But now there was a change in the direction of communication design. And that developed very well. She was not only very diligent but also open to a variety of tasks and full of her own, weird ideas. She had a great strength, developed in the field of photography and illustration, and it was always fun to follow her humorous drawings. Mariia decided to apply at the HTW in Berlin and was successfully accepted there.

We are very curious how she will accept her new career in the study and in the job fterwards and we keep fingers crossed for her!

Peters fantasy worlds

Peter, who came to us from Berlin, lost himself very, very quickly, always putting his headphones over his ears, into his own world of images. This was strongly influenced by a form of fantastic realism, surrealism, as well as comic and fantasy. First, he wanted to apply for a degree in fine arts, but then decided to apply for a degree in art education. But after completing his semesters at our art school, he told us that he wanted to give himself more time and start training as a goldsmith. Based on his imagery, we are now very curious how he will implement this in goldsmith work.
We wish him much pleasure and success.

Up and away

Now, this semester run, which began in early September 2017, has come to an end with a wonderful last party. If the beginnings seemed almost endlessly long, some of you might look back with more than a surprise on a very nice time with the beloved colleagues from ten different countries. Kathrin and I will also find the next week strangely empty if our room does not fill up round 10. We wish that we could give you all a lot on the way forward and invite you to visit us again and again to let us share your further career.

Paul is first

Paul is an exceptionally strong talent. Full of own stories and worlds of experience, he draws these completely natural and often oblivious to paper and his many sketchbooks. At the KHB Weissensee Art Academy in Berlin, they did not see this during his first application last year. When he came to the course of the VON ERLENBACH KUNSTSCHULE after the rejection, many good works have been developped on a continuous basis and so it was no wonder that he was immediately invited to the exam with his first try in at the HGB Leipzig and later also admitted to the final degree.

This won`t be the last invitation for him and we stay curious.
