Course detail
Studio Follow-up I - Drawing and Printmaking - winter

The course follows the rich history and tradition of classical disciplines but is neither dogmatic nor conservative. On the contrary, it encourages students to expand their conceptual understanding of traditional techniques in contemporary art. Students choose techniques according to the conceptual and technological requirements of individual projects. They work with a variety of media. Consequently, they have the opportunity to present their projects in different ways: exhibitions, publications and other formats. They are encouraged to be ambitious and to become acquainted with the progressive art scene and to present their work either independently or as a group.
