Aims

The aim of the teaching is individual handwriting, "master drawing", figurative drawing often without a direct connection to the model (where the model acts as a reference or a base on which to rely). The aim is thus not an exact image, but an interpretation of the model.

The students are able to independently choose the topic and approach to the work, and are able to incorporate quotations of other authors' styles into their work, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the model.
