“Design a personal business card of yourself using natural materials” was the assignment for the prospective educators in the new lower school. In perfect weather, the students hiked to the banks of the Rhine in Linz and let their imaginations run wild, producing 27 individual results. Each pupil used this map to share something personal about themselves: a character trait, a favorite vacation destination or simply something that is important to them in life.
Afterwards, small groups of four pupils formed to create a group artwork from natural materials.
The students were unanimous in their feedback about how amazed they were at the ideas of others and how much fun they had developing their own creativity.
