Artworks for Motivation

Kulturmühle, an online platform for artistic and cultural contributions from the school community, continues to enjoy great popularity today, following its Advent calendar activities at the end of last year. Most recently, art students in the qualification phase shared their wishes and tips here through thought-provoking paintings and collages with all students—half of whom are still in remote learning at home even after February 22.
The works were created with the hope that, rather than just saying “Hang in there,” they would provide something more concrete—such as motivation for everyday life. Messages such as “Lie down outside on the ground at night and look at the stars…” or “In Marburg, we stick together…” or “It’s just a difficult time, not a difficult life” are meant to provide inspiration and show some students that no one is alone.
Art teacher Ines Vielhaben: “Cultural activity is so important in times of crisis so that we don’t lose ourselves.”
