Painting 6 Studio

By consolidating previously acquired skills, classes encourage students to acquire new ones, to overcome the fear of the unknown. They provoke to take the risk of embarking upon an individual search within the broadly understood painting space. By implementing individual projects, students develop their creativity and independence. They face the necessity of verbal defence of their works. Widening their artistic awareness, they also broaden the field of perception of painting as an autonomous field of expression. Painting is no longer perceived by them as a collection of skills or dexterity. Classes in the studio are supposed to convince them that it is only the wise use of these skills that can allow them to fully develop as artists.

Students implement an individual programme based on exercises, corrections and consultations. During so-called public reviews, which are a tradition in the functioning of the studios, selected students are given the opportunity to present their works to invited guests (other lecturers, critics, curators, students from other studios) and listen to their opinions. The studio is an area of a free exchange of thoughts, without assuming in advance which side is right.

The basis for the functioning of the studio are the principles of individualisation of methods and subjectivity of the student.
