Lecture 4 | Barbara Wille
SOME BASIC QUESTIONS
Teaching, creating and organizing art at the Dresden University of Fine Arts
Professor Barbara Wille is responsible for those students who newly join the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. Her range of tasks spans from communication, encouragement to the actual teaching of manual skills and the use of on-campus workshops, mainly in the field of sculpture.
How does she connect her personal artistic practice with her profile as an art professor? We invite you to join a conversation between Barbara Wille and art historian Susanne Altmann. Altmann has been teaching „Topics of German Art“, art history classes in English for foreign students since 2011. With Prof Wille, she will discuss the remarkable public art practice of the latter and how the acquired managerial competence helps Wille's instructing of students during the „Basic/Orientation Phase“. Our talk will provide an insight into the educational climate of the Dresden Academy, but will also exemplary introduce one of many outstanding artists active here.
Duration: 45 ( max. 60) mins plus Q&A
