Small friends
spring course in the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection

Dear children, dear parents, grandparents, godparents, sponsors,

After an exciting and creative course that led us through the mysterious world of flowers and plants, our spring course in the Scharf-Gerstenberg collection is coming to an end. From the first appointment on January 5 to the present day, our little artists dealt with the topic of the current exhibition "Evil Flowers" with a lot of imagination and joy and created impressive works.

With the motto "Can flowers be evil?" We have embarked on an artistic journey and researched the various facets of flowers and plants - from beauty to their secret, dark sides. Each course produced new ideas and forms of expression that focused on the creativity of the children.

We are now looking forward to presenting the results of this unique journey of discovery to you and you! In the final presentation on March 30, 2025, all participants proudly show their works, which range from floral fantasies to unusual interpretations of the topic.

Let yourself be enchanted by the creativity of our little artists!

We thank everyone who made this course possible - especially Kolja Kohlhoff, Elke Burkert, Thomas R. Hoffmann and Josephine Garbe - and look forward to seeing you again at the summer course in the new National Gallery.

Sincerely from the team of friends of the National Gallery
