Content
Here, you can try out or deepen your skills in the arts. Together, we can explore the essence of art and the factors that influence the creation and experience of art.
Over the course of the year, we will investigate the processes of drawing and observation, experiment with painting techniques and materials, create ceramics, and try out other materials for three-dimensional work based on your wishes. You can dive into the world of printmaking either on a small or large scale. You can also try your hand at animation, photography, or video editing, developing your skills as you go.
Goals
Whether you're an experienced artist or just starting out, this year will surely be rewarding. You can come for inspiration or to gain momentum for further studies. The general goal is for everyone to try out techniques or approaches to art-making that are still unfamiliar to them. The work will focus on individual projects and achieving personal goals. If you have a clear vision for your own work, you can also follow your own path, guided along with the group.
