fine arts:
drawing

Within drawing, visual research and experimentation are central. Starting from a number of open assignments, students search for visual possibilities and techniques that best fit their personality and interests. 

Besides technical skills and visual research, you regularly discuss and question your work, both individually and in groups. In this way, you learn to define yourself, deal with criticism and learn the ways to position yourself in an artistic environment. The lecturers guide this process, each from their specific artistic practice.

The first bachelor starts with shorter assignments, starting from visual perception. You explore different formats, materials and techniques to find your personal perspective. Drawing from live model, objects, still life, space, light and self-portrait are the main starting points. In the second semester, a major assignment is tackled via a theme and the skills acquired are further explored.  

In the second bachelor, the diversity of drawing is addressed even more. The result is a quirky dossier and extensive drawing work that functions as one large self-portrait. In the second semester, the emphasis is on the context of a location, a site-specific artwork that has a different support than paper e.g. a ceiling., floor or wall drawing, drawing on an object, projection, film, and so on. You look for experimental forms of drawing.

In the third bachelor you research self-chosen themes and work on your bachelor project. Interim presentations, showcases, projects - both inside and outside school - and participation in competitions give you the opportunity to present your own work and establish a relationship with an audience. Creating a portfolio based on your own visual work, studio visits with artists and excursions to the Netherlands and abroad are fixed components of the curriculum.
