At the opening of this year\u2019s art exhibition in the Steinm\u00fchle greenhouse, more than 50 visitors marveled at the three-dimensional artworks created by nine art groups consisting of students of various ages\u2014from 5th grade through the E-phase. Classmates, parents, teachers, and Steinm\u00fchle staff enjoyed the art and nature in the beautiful, natural setting of the greenhouse and the school garden. <\/p>\n

The opening was accompanied by musical performances from the two talented musicians, Talea Funk and Fynn Konnertz. The event was rounded out by culinary delights from the elective course (WU) Party Service, led by Fido Wagler. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Where do we come from? Who are we? <\/strong>Who will we be? How will we live? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Students in Ines Vielhaben\u2019s E-Phase class have explicitly explored this theme through their sculptures, which greet guests at the entrance to the greenhouse. How much of the instinctive, animalistic lies within humans? What identity or identities will people create in the future? Into what kind of avatars or cyborgs will they evolve? <\/p>\n

The modeling course always took human forms and proportions as its starting point, since they were the models all around us in the clay workshop. But these had to be distorted, elongated, or compressed\u2014depending on whether the goal was to create a monkey, a human, or a cyborg. <\/p>\n

The surrealist boxes <\/strong>from the same grade level are on display <\/strong>. The project began in Art Room 507, which the treasure chests were intended not only to enhance artistically but also to personalize. <\/p>\n

Formally, these boxes draw inspiration from the works of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and Belgian surrealist Ren\u00e9 Magritte. Here, a dreamlike imaginary world and reality are interwoven in equal measure. They were created by the art class under the direction of Heike Rabben-Martin. <\/p>\n

In Dr. Sabine Kraft\u2019s class, the young designers from classes 10b and 10c are presenting models of seating furniture<\/strong>, some of which are futuristic<\/strong>: The teams turned their designs\u2014which were initially developed as thumbnail sketches\u2014into models.<\/p>\n

The groups, working in the field of industrial design, chose \u201cseating furniture\u201d as their theme. The finished product had to meet one additional requirement: it had to fit in the palm of the hand! Otherwise, they had complete freedom in choosing the material, shape, and type of seating. <\/p>\n

A little theory made it easier for the young artists to make their decision. As a result, the three key aspects of a successful design object were discussed beforehand. <\/p>\n
