Astonishment provides for an entirely pure perception. If you understand the art of astonishment, you’re in a position to see the world with other eyes and make new discoveries. That is the basis of the creativity of art. During the Fine Arts programme, you’re stimulated to astonish yourself and challenged to discover all your talents. Naturally, you also learn to work with a large number of materials and techniques, among them the new media. So you get broad insight into the illustrative possibilities of 2D-, 3D- and 4D-design.

In the second year you share a workspace of your own with a couple of fellow students. The final years you work in your own studio. You have no more classes, but conduct projects on your own and in small groups. That can be with students of the other disciplines or from academies and universities in the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany.
