The programme of Fine Arts educates students to become visual artists who are able to develop their artistry independently in an international context. You will learn to deal with every aspect of artistry within the stimulating climate of the KABK. Developing professional conduct, control of work process and theoretical knowledge are key elements in this process. Self-reflection and awareness of the meaning of your own art work in context of the artistic and social world are vital conditions for the study in general and the personal development in particular.
The programme of Fine Arts is divided into a foundation course and a advanced course. The foundation course includes an intensive and extensive orientation on all four tracks of the advanced course-the sections Painting, Free Graphics, Interdisciplinary Attitudes and 3D. These sections offer a climate in which students are urged to meet the boundaries of the disciplines and to exceed them. In addition to the lessons in the studios, students are also offered an intensive exhibition programme. Every aspect of catering fine arts to the public is covered in relation to the student’s own development. Additionally, the classes also cover the historical development of fine arts up to the current cultural-social situation. Considering the fact that Fine Arts is no longer tied to traditional techniques, new media have obtained an important place in the KABK educational programme. Students can take the programme of Fine Arts both full-time as well as part-time. The full-time programme takes four years and the part-time programme takes five years.
