The annual courses of the “School of Fantasy” were suddenly interrupted by Corona, regrets graphic designer Sibylle Sommer.
The Gautingen course leader was all the more pleased that the paper mache dolls of eleven creative children were still finished and could be exhibited.

- “We are starting the new course year full of energy with attractive offers for preschoolers, elementary school children - and also interesting courses for adults,” says a delighted artist Rosemarie Zacher, founder of the School of Fantasy.
“There is a large selection,” emphasize course instructors Rosemarie Zacher and Sibylle Sommer.
"For example, we offer felting, pottery, painting, bookbinding and sewing courses."
“Our annual courses on Tuesdays for preschoolers and elementary school students are popular and sought-after,” says director Sibylle Sommer from experience.
The new annual courses start on Tuesday, October 13th and run until the Whitsun holidays 2021.
Funny figures from the last annual course of the School of Fantasy could still be admired at the exhibition in the foyer of the Gautinger wide screen cinema.
As part of Matthias Helwig's Five Lakes Film Festival, eleven children had the chance to present their works.
Originally, the paper mache dolls from the school-of-the-fantasy-workshop were intended for the corona-related May Festival of the Gauting actor Sebastian Hofmüller in the old station pizzeria, said Sommer at the closing event with grandmothers, parents and siblings in the cinema foyer.
The course instructors and their imagination students were all the more pleased with Matthias Helwig's offer: With the motivating goal of "exhibition" in the cinema, eleven girls and boys quickly completed their characters after the lockdown during the summer holidays.
Because the dolls had previously been sitting in the workshop “without faces and without clothes”, says Sibylle Sommer.
For example, Mason (8) had already prepared everything at home - right down to the black coat: in the cinema foyer he presented his tall, smoking punk with an impressive hedgehog hairstyle.
"Spiky mostly hides," explained the eight year old.
“Because he likes to scare someone everywhere.
Just like me, ”reveals the little artist with a mischievous laugh.
Nils (7), on the other hand, had designed a “Herr Professor”, a jungle researcher in a white coat.
And from an eight-year-old came a wonderful old lady with a laughing mouth, gray poodle curls and a sun-yellow dress that was draped on the bar stool during the exhibition.
The eleven young artists then took their imaginative figures back home with them.
Fortunately for the art school there is now a restart on October 13th.
Registration forms for all offers can be found on the website at www.sdf-gauting.de or in the printed flyer, which is available in the community library.
