Teaching

The Bachelor of Fine Arts program provides students with a solid foundation in artistic practice, theory and methodology. The program is based on the student's own artistic development and a study environment that supports experimentation, investigation and open work processes.

Through teaching artistic practice, critical reflection, presentation and knowledge-based subjects, students acquire craft, technical and theoretical skills. The program combines individual immersion with a shared professional framework, discussion and critique.

You will learn to understand and use artistic and scientific methods, handle complex creative processes and work professionally - both independently and in collaboration with others. The program concludes with an independent BFA project.

The bachelor's program has between 80 and 90 students in three cohorts. The four permanent teachers on the bachelor's program are all practicing visual artists.

In practice, teaching takes place partly as practice groups and partly as individual studio conversations based on the student's own production. In addition, a number of courses are offered, both practical and theoretical.

Courses are also organized in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts' laboratories, which introduce students to artistic disciplines such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, video, media art, sound and photography.
