When you open the door and enter the art studio you can read the following quotation on the wall: "To dare is to loose your balance for a minute, but not to dare is the danger of loosing yourself completely." (Søren Kierkegaard)
This is the sentence which gets the whole subject started. Here you will be hunting for the artistic expression, by using your whole self through personal, sensitive, fantasy and intellectual reflection. The lessons are based on individual teaching as well as specific projects where all participate. For instance themes concerning what goes on in society right now. The physical surroundings are extremely good and fully modernized with lots of light! The facilities can be used 24 hours a day.
We start with drawing, the basic media. Find your personal touch and accept it. Several drawing exercises are presented before we are ready to continue drawing from a model, portrait, sketching, mirror drawing, 1 minutes drawing, reflected drawing, light/shadow and drawing from nature.
We then offer you oil- and acrylic painting, water colour and pastels. In ceramics we stress the value of primitive burning e.g. Raku-burning and Pit fire burning. Both the technical and artistic aspects are stressed. Like Picasso who transformed the amphora into a beautiful female body you can do the same by using your own personal imagination.
We also present you for the fascinating technique of melting glass, The Cold Glass Technique. You can produce glass-masks, glass-cups, glass trees, glass reliefs, and you can also paint on glass.
The overall philosophy is to present beauty, and the surprise of what is different. If you choose this subject you will be well prepared for further studies within art.
