Part-time Fine Arts

The Fine Arts part-time study is a brand-new educational path where non-artistic and artistic approaches merge together in a trajectory intended for participants who already have established professional and/or life experience. This study is intended to be combined with a part-time job or occupation, with classes two days per week. Applicants should have an interest in the collaborative outcomes that can be found in the combination of a formal arts education and other professions.

Sylvia Beijen-Schotman:

“My KABK education taught me to see the endless possibilities on the way to a goal. It has given me a mental agility in everything I do. In my consulting room, confronted with unspeakable sadness but also elusive beauty, visual language is an instrument for communicating. Making art is using craftsmanship to convey a story and at KABK I learned to portray such stories. In my own teaching, I use "picture voicing" to portray students' stories - a highway to deep self-reflection.”

At the end of this four-year study participants are awarded a BA Fine Arts diploma. During the course, you will expand your artistic capabilities and actively develop connections between art and society at large. We move from learning core creative skills in the KABK workshops to theoretical and research-based skills, allowing you to explore your own possibilities within new and varied contexts.

Graduates of Fine Arts (Part-time) will be able to develop meaningful artistic projects that can take on any form, in every walk of life.
