What our students say
-
The drawing course was a challenge because it is drawing in quite a different way than I am used to. It is intensely precise. But on the other side, it was spectacular to see when shadows and light shapes started to turn my drawing in something spatial. And that is helpful to recognize the shapes I want to sculpt in my figure.

Ik heb waanzinnig veel nieuwe dingen geleerd, met name tijdens het tekenen. Dat kon ik totaal niet. Daar heb ik dingen geleerd waarvan ik het bestaan niet eens wist.

This course and its relevance to my development as both a draftsman and sculptor have been great. The precision required in drawing from mastercopies is super helpful. The teachers are all very supportive.
