4worldlovers: Take a peak into this project in the video documentation below! An exhibition, a zine and workshop series that took place in August 2022 at Prinzessinnengarten with the generous support of Draussenstadt Berlin.

In the summer of 2022 we created this beautiful project. View impressions from the final exhibition and zine in the video below. Read on for details about the workshop itself.

4worldlovers: Here are some slap sculptures of moths and butterflies in make. I found this project on the wonderful blog of https://www.smallhandsbigart.com/. Unfortunately we had no time to do sgraffito because there’s almost a month of holidays ahead of us so we had to decide between the paint or the pattern. And since the reliefs had…

While creating our poetry work for the March Madness call, we looked into the work of artist Tom Phillips, some pointillist painters and the movement itself. In addition students worked on a poem build out of words written on the page of a book so it is coincidental sort of writing. It was quite an…

In our PYP Unit “Role models” Grade 2 discussed Joan Miró. We broke his colours down to basics, black and white and his shapes to little potatos that are sometimes overlapping opening possibilities for the third shape and a new colour. We added lots of soft lines.

In the PYP Unit we touched the topic of sustainability. Our key figure was Marina Strocchi, an Australian painter who uses divisions and patters in her paintings talking about land, harvest, ethnography, the coulours of dry land, red land, of home. I love her works to bits! So the plan was to get inspired by…

Here we go again with beautiful printing. Again I love the printing plates more than the results. However this was fun as it always is. We’ve made the printing plates out of various materials to leave various traces. We added all the colours at the same time. Because we don’t like to complicate.

Connecting to our PYP Unit ‘Cycles in nature’ we took a pick into the life of colours on our beautiful classroom poster of a colour wheel designed by Johannes Itten. This was Grade 1 and children are small so to take off we simply did some skatches of winter and summer, connecting the colours to…

We started with drawing of a head of a chosen animal. What are the characteristics, what shape and where should be the ears, what are the colours… The starting point was a ball. To release all the air out of clay (very important!) one should have some throwing fun. Simply throw the clay few times…

Through our PYP unit the Grade 2 students researched animals in their habitats. We added to our learning by discovering 3D art in connection to pedestal. Clay is a complete winner with the kids. They feel very comfortable working with it. In my classes I never had a single child that would not like it….

Another aquarell project with a bit older children. I do love still lifes. I also think I might like our still life projects the most. I love how you start with something and during weeks of painting we end up with completely something else on the tables. Coulour is different, shape has changed, texture had…

The picture of a shadow is a positive thing. Said someone.

Masks are always fun! Papier-mache too (only not how it’s spelled so I am giving myself freedom of not caring)! For the shape we simply used ballons. Sure the shape isn’t good to wear the masks but we wanted them on the walls anyway. Nice project it was.

Children were very excited about this project, of course! They are Grade 4 and they feel close to and familiar with street art. Unfortunately the downside for them was there was no spraying (not for me though). We did this project in our history unit. We spoke about Berlin wall and street art in general…

Grade 1 had lots of fun trying out rolling the clay, cutting and gluing ears, noses, mouth, ears, eyes and hair. We learned funny vocabulary like Schlika and Kiln. We painted it, fired it and voila!


This was a lovely clay project that brought along lots of learning and joy. All our sculptures were hollowed, painted and fired and not a single one broke. Well done!

We researched vitamins and minerals in connection to our unit of inquiry ‘healthy choices’. In the end we decided not to take it too serious and just make a bit of veggie jokes where a tomato driven by a car becomes a ketchup and a banana can and will not return because it is after…


In connection to our Unit of inquiry ‘Market places’ we learned about Pop Art. We painted mass produced candies. And if you are by any chance coming from Yugoslavia you will know more than one.
