Curriculum
Foundation (year 1)
In the first year of this Fine Art course, you will learn to handle various disciplines, such as painting, drawing, photography, graphics, spatial work and new media. You will also take classes in art theory and philosophy and learn academic skills such as analysing and writing texts. At the end of the year, you will choose to focus on the flat surface (Painting) or on space (All Space & Sculpture). A flexible team of lecturers is involved in both pillars.
In the first year you can also apply for the Honours program as a supplement to the theoretical program of your own bachelor course..
Second year
The second year is all about what interests you and what you would like to make. You will work on developing your own visual language in small groups. You will be supervised by at least three lecturers. Each semester will conclude with an assessment (review of work). During this assessment, practice, ART LAB and your technical skills will be tested. There are interim assessments for theory and philosophy.
Third year
In the third year of the course, you will immerse yourself further in your personal discipline under the supervision of your lecturers and guest lecturers. You will work independently and take the lead in fleshing out your own practical program.
The international exchange program offers you the opportunity to study at an academy abroad for a period of three to six months. We have contacts with many international academies and art institutions where you can spend a semester.
You can also choose to tackle the theory and practice of a subject or technique in more depth; for this purpose, you will be required to write a project proposal. During the process, you will be supervised by a theory lecturer and a practice lecturer.
Fourth year
In the fourth and final year of the bachelor course, you will follow a program that will prepare you for your future work practice. You will also write a graduation thesis under the supervision of a theory lecturer and work on a final exam work. You will exhibit this work at the major annual graduate retrospective. The exhibition is visited by collectors, exhibition makers, gallery owners and critics.
Program Outcome
After graduation, you can take a national or international master course, such as the Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design.
