Kunstpalast

Today's German lesson started in our classroom on Berliner Allee where we were writing a short dialoge, practicing housing phrases ( Hier wohne ich) and listening and singing a nice song, Wir sind am Leben ( The life we are living). At 12 we grabbed a quick lunch from one of many bakeries here in Düsseldorf and walked through Hofgarten were we enjoyed the Magnolia trees blossoming. Continued to Kunstpalast where the permanent exhibition is free daytime on Thursdays. 
Our teacher Nadia gave us tasks about some of the art works and the artists, which I will go through here, so this post is basically my homework. I will write in German and Swedish as the two languages have more similarities. I am very new to German so analysis and sentences are very simple and probably contain heaps of mistakes but I have decided to just do it..


1. Lucas Cranach // Das ungleiche Paar 1530  ( Det ojämnlika paret) 
Warum ist das Paar ungleich? Was hält der Mann in seiner Hand? Warum 
Varför är paret ojämnlikt? Vad har mannen i sin hand? Varför? 
Ich finde den Mann Alt und Hässlich. Die Frauen jung und schön. 
Er hat eine Halskette in der Hand. Gib der Fraun ein Geschenk 
Jag tycker att mannen är gammal och ful. Kvinnan ung och vacker. Han har ett halsband i handen. Ge som present. 




2. Cornelis de Bisschop // Joseph und Potiphars Frau 1664 
Was will die Frau von Joseph? Beschreibe die Szene. Schreiben einen Dialog.
Vad vill Josephs fru? Beskriv scenen. Skriv en dialog
Josephs Frau möchte dass er sie sieht und Nähe komt ( lesen fick ) 
Joseph Will nicht und zieht sich zurück. Er hat angst ?

"An was willst du glauben?
Oder glaubst du an dich?
Wie oft wirst du betrogen?
Wie oft belügst du dich?
Wielviel Türen wirst du öffnen?
Welches Schloss knackst du nie?
Wie oft kannst du widerstehen?
Und wann gehst du in die knie? "

Ingen dialog men ett passande stycke från sången vi lyssnade på idag
Vad vill du tro? Eller tror du på dig själv? Hur ofta luras du? Hur ofta ljuger du för dig själv? Hur många dörrar öppnar du? Vilka lås kommer du inte att bryta dig igenom? Hur ofta kan du motstå? Och när går du på knäna?


3. Godfried Schalken // Ein Mann mit Kerze ( Mannen med stearinljuset) 1655 
Was ist das Besondere an diesem Bild?
Vad är speciellt med bilden?
Das bild vermittelt ein mysteriöses Gefühl. Er ist geheimnisvoll. Warm und gut gemacht. 
4. Peter Paul Rubens // Venus und Adonis 1610
Welche Tiere befinden sich auf dem Bild? Welche bedeutung haben sie? 
Vilka djur finns i bilden? Vilken betydelse har dom ? 

Ich sehe zwei weiße Scwänen und ein Hund 




To be continued...

Weekly Update 24/52 Making leaving gifts and wine ladies

During week 24 I have been working on preparing thank you gifts for kids teachers and friends. I like to give something symbolic which also can be useful. This year I decided to buy water bottles for the teachers and to make them personalized writing their name and some flowers on them. I bought plain smaller bottles at IKEA. With my Cricut i designed and cut it out of permanent vinyl. With adding vinyl on the bottles, they can only be hand-washed otherwise the vinyl will come off.  After five years in Germany I have gotten so use to saying Frau Janssen rather then using her first name. So I decided that I will use the last name because that is the only name the kids use. Funny how you get use to something that I from the beginning thought was so stupid and old fashion.  When I was playing around with my Cricut I also figured out how to transfer my wine ladies into svg file which is needed so the machine can cut out my illustrations. I did a test with iron on transfer vinyl. I made the

Weekly update 23/52 Düsseldorf Art journals, Tonhalle and pool season

End of May beginning of June this wonderful time of the year and it is starting to be more and more emotional and real that we soon will be packing up and leaving. After this very cold spring it is nice to finally warm up and that the pool season has started. Here in Wittlaer Düsseldorf we have a local pool in Kaiserwerth Freibad Flossenweg where we go to swim. On a normal school day in the afternoon it is not too bad with people but on a hot hot weekend it is very crowded. It is kind of funny living in a place where you meet parents from school and neighbors first fully dressed and then undressed in the pool.  One amazing experience was seeing Düsseldorf Tonhalle from inside where Mila and her school together with four other schools in Düsseldorf had a Sing Pause concert. It was magical to hear them all sing in this old planetarium which has been changed into a concert hall.  My Creative work has been focusing on personalizing Art journals. I bought plain brown paper art journals to t

Weekly update 40/52 Autumn colors and cinnamon buns

Welcome October the most colorful month of the year. Yes we are going full steam towards the darker and colder part of the year, but I have to admit it is cosy and pretty with all the colorful leaves.  I don't know if it is a new thing to have theme days where a dish or something is being celebrated. I am guessing it is a capitalistic marketing great idea so companies can make more money like Valentine day. One of those days in Sweden is 4 of October when our national bakery Cinnamon bun is being honored. I got inspired! Some time ago I bought nice linnen tea-towels which I was planning to make some print/design on and when I got inspired by cinnamon bun I knew exactly what to make. I started scribbling and drawing buns on a big sheet. When I had one or two which I thought looked ok I transfered my bun drawing to my Cricut and had it cut out on iron-on vinyl. My mum is a master in baking buns and so I made a tea-towel/baking-towel in honor of not only cinnamon buns but of my mother
