Painting Room Basel

Painting Room Basel is a painting atelier structured and based on the principles of Arno Stern. We invite you to find your own space, your own pace and your existing or new resources in our specially-designed studio!

You are not expected to bring anything but yourself to the painting class. High quality materials are offered to participants and are included in the price. You can immediately start painting freely, following your own instincts and wishes. Then, once the Painting play has started, it’s only a matter of time until spontaneity sparks.

Self-expression, Spontaneity and Enthusiasm in a space free from pressure, competition, imposed themes and judgement – that’s what we call Closlieu. Everything in our workshop comes together to enable you to tap into these resources which we all have and have always had ever since we were children.

The participants paint while standing, using broad white papers pinned on the colorful walls. In the middle of the room there is a narrow palette-table with the paints and brushes. The Practitioner takes part in the sessions without teaching, commenting on or categorizing the drawings.

Creative education

“The challenge is not to reform education but to transform it. As we face a very uncertain future, the answer is not to do better what we’ve done before. We have to do something else.” – Sir Ken Robinson.

We are all so very different in our needs and interests. Creative education celebrates these differences and teaches us to value ourselves by discovering what makes us unique – we create in our own rhythm, using only our personal resources with no interference, no comparison or assessment based on given standards.

Arno Stern called this activity in his Closlieu ‘creative education’, thus indicating the importance of one’s autonomy. Personal development is linked to the social experience, therefore the activity in the ‘Closlieu’ space allows individuals to define themselves among others and not against others.

Limited availability! Book your seat now and we will shortly get in touch with you to confirm your reservation.

Painting room Basel is a specially designed painting workshop, which creates a safe environment in order to enable the development of spontaneous dispositions. Maybe this sounded a bit cumbersome. Let’s break it down and see what it really means..

ClosLieu

ClosLieu

A space particularly designed for the painting game.

It is more than 60 years ago that Arno started his atelier in Paris, coining the term Closlieu. Through the years, he has witnessed that when children trace freely, they produce identical figures and signs everywhere in the world…
