Transforming Inventing Drawing
Holiday workshop for children aged 7–12

With Meeting Lines (artistic collective / Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack)

What happens when you have to use a pen together? That’s when things get exciting: we try things out and discover new ideas. Not only will you draw expressive pictures, but you’ll also build your own drawing tools and use them to invent games. Everyday objects such as figurines, kitchen utensils, or office supplies are taken apart, mixed together and transformed – through gluing, tying, slotting, sewing or screwing – into completely new, surprising tools for drawing.Inspiration comes from the exhibitions on site: at the Brücke-Museum we look at objects and explore how art and craft can be combined. At the Kunsthaus Dahlem, we experience how artists have worked with different shapes and figures. On the final day, we will create an open play parcours for your families, where you can try out your tools and maybe even break a little sweat yourselves. Everyone takes their self-made drawing machines and their artworks home – a reminder of four days full of curiosity, inventiveness and shared creativity.

A collaboration between the Brücke-Museum, Kunsthaus Dahlem and Jugend im Museum e.V.

Although the workshop will be mainly in German, we mention the languages spoken by the facilitators to make it more accessible. If you don’t feel confident in German, don’t worry — you can still take part. We are committed to respectful interaction. Discriminatory behavior has no place at our events.

Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack make up the Berlin-based art duo Meeting Lines. Together, they investigate critical collective processes at the intersection of human/environment and self-education/art. To this end, they develop site-specific drawing practices that involve copying, improvising and playing. The reuse of materials is central to their arts education work as well as their artistic practice.

Marcos García Pérez studied fine arts at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and graduated from the UdK Berlin (Berlin University of the Arts) in 2020 in the Art in Context programme. Since then, he has worked as an independent artist and art educator.

After earning a B.A. in fashion design, Carla Schliephack was a master student in the Sculpture Department at the weißensee academy of art berlin, a programme she continues to promote. Through further training
