Short description

The student is able to communicate their work in a clear and convincing manner. This is achieved through an artistic approach, in which the student translates their personal visual language into coherent visual communication.
The student engages in critical research and draws inspiration from relevant artistic references, which are subsequently translated into a personal visual language. Research processes and developments are discussed during feedback sessions.
Publications are analysed and interpreted in relation to the student’s own artistic practice, contributing to the development of a personal vision or concept.
Students are expected to continue working on assignments outside of class hours.
Attendance during scheduled sessions is mandatory and will be recorded.
