Studio III - Drawing and Printmaking - winter

FaVU-B3GR-ZAcad. year: 2017/2018

The pivotal disciplines in the studio are printmaking and drawing - these are further developed and transformed into other media. We are not dogmatic or conservative, we do not think and work within predetermined mantinels. The team is reflected not only in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation and assistance that reigns in the studio, but also in "the studio order".
EXCHANGE_RESIDENCY / we fully support the artistic exchange of students, their traveling, learning in a different environment, as well as preparing students for the opportunity to bid for artistic support, grants and residencies. We don´t lock young artists within the limits of national boundaries. We accent the importance of language skills, preparing own portfolio and verbalization own artistic statement. Various trips to nearby cities of art are included into studio lessons. Current exhibitions and visiting art-centers, independent cultural platforms and studios are opening up our horizons, encourage students in thinking about the present and the future.
