At this year's Career’s Day at the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz, a three-person delegation, including the founder of Structuralist Art, Felix Stoffel, conducted an intensive workshop. Eight students from the IB department (IB=International Baccalaureate) participated. In addition, their dedicated art teacher, Hedi-K Ernst Schmid, a seasoned artist of international renown, also took the opportunity to practice this progressive painting technique.
The artistic director of the Structuralist Center in Lindau on Lake Constance, Laila Capadrutt, was responsible for the intensive course. She was ably assisted by art history student, Onna Rageth, another teacher from the team. At the same time, Judith Capadrutt, who primarily focuses on the trade of Structuralist works, displayed various exhibits at a specially prepared stand.

To guarantee the success of such an art workshop, similar to preparing a good menu, certain conditions must be coordinated:
One takes eight motivated students of different ages who have already been able to develop their talent thanks to the experienced, well-traveled, and open-minded artist and art teacher Hedi-K Ernst Schmid. To this, one adds a large, light-filled room, suitable equipment, along with high-quality materials and artistic utensils. The new and easy-to-learn Structuralist painting then forms both the framework and the core for a varied and instructive course. Of course, it is never possible without the willingness to perform on the part of all participants. And that was more than present. For some of the older participants, the creation of their first Structuralist work is part of their IB final project. Accordingly, they will describe their experiences, including photographically documented work steps, in writing. The works will then be officially exhibited at the Lyceum as part of the graduation ceremonies.

For Felix Stoffel, himself a student of this venerable institution in the 70s, the course was interesting in two respects. Not only was he able to see how much art education at Lyceum Alpinum has changed and expanded. He also recognized once again the pedagogical power of his Structuralist art. After all, around seven nations gathered at one table to jointly practice this new art form with great joy. The mutual interest in each other's work testifies to the social cohesion that the idea of Structuralism is particularly capable of conveying.
