In the footsteps of August Macke

A digital almanac (not only) for digital blackboards.

Good news for primary schools! Thanks to an exciting collaboration between the sk stiftung jugend und medien and the Heidehof Foundation, free teaching materials about August Macke are now available. In order to exploit the full potential of digital whiteboards, both foundations have worked with teachers and pupils to develop multimedia learning units for fourth-year pupils. In ‘Auf den Spuren von August Macke’ (In the footsteps of August Macke), pupils explore the artist's life in a playful way and learn about the development of his painting from Impressionism to Expressionism. The best thing about it: our teaching content is perfectly aligned with the curriculum of primary schools in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Those who do not have digital whiteboards can also use the modules with tablets or the ‘offline’ teaching materials in combination with video files. And best of all: there is of course the option of holding lessons at the August Macke House! An extracurricular learning location that allows you to experience the life of August Macke up close. In addition, a virtual class exhibition can be created in a workshop at the sk stiftung jugend und medien. This creates a joint gallery of results with your own digital artworks, which can not only be viewed with VR glasses, but also presented to parents via a link.

The teaching units are available online at www.augustmacke.sk-jugend.de.

The Hyacinth Carpet by August Macke

A collaborative work based on August Macke for the classroom

Ideally, the painting ‘Hyacinth Carpet’ from 1910 should be projected onto a white board. Otherwise, several colour prints of the still life in A4 format on the desks would be sufficient. Also print out the PDF with the individual black and white sections of the divided painting. Clicking on the adjacent image opens a PDF with the grid sections for printing!

It is helpful if each child also receives the corresponding small coloured section from the grid image. Therefore, please cut up one of the colour prints, stick the small square sections under the respective colouring templates and distribute one of the sheets to each child. This way, each child will have the entire painting and their own coloured section in front of them. Of course, this can also be done with tablets and without colour copies. But the painting is still done with brushes and paint. Opaque white is also very helpful for this painting.

Have fun!
