BEUYS FOR KIDS!

Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) was a very influential and controversial German artist. He used a wide variety of materials for his works, of which felt and fat are best known. He also famously stated that every person is an artist ("Jeder Mensch ist ein Künstler"). By this he did not mean that everyone is capable of making a work of art. He took the word "art" more broadly and associated it with life. For example, he believed that every human being has the creative possibilities to help shape the world and make it better. His ideas and art still inspire numerous artists.
In the week of his birthday, we explore his method and materials together. We look at a series of works that Beuys gave the name Queen Bee and look for a good starting point. With special materials such as beeswax, plasticine, wool, found objects, brush and paint, we look for the little Beuys in ourselves.
