Your future as independent fine artist
To become an independent fine artist, you need an open mind. You ask questions and you don’t take the world at face value. You want to learn to express your ideas in new and exciting ways.

Getting to know your craft
During this bachelor’s programme you will learn to express your ideas, feelings and fascination in images, using different materials, techniques and media. Each time you ask yourself: what is it I want to say? What do I want the public to feel? You can use any medium you want: paintings, films or photographs, a spatial performance or computer simulation. We will teach you the skills you need to express yourself in whatever way you
