Goals and Timeline
The European Art Academy, Trier, offers a qualified Intensive Studies program in the field of Drawing and Painting. The knowledge gained here will greatly aid in the development of a personal and artistic work process.
The course Drawing and Painting will take place over 9 weeks, beginning 25 February until 25 April 2008. This course is reserved for anyone with interest and willingness to learn art. Lecturers teach daily.
The lectures are trained and professional artists, with longtime teaching experiences in their fields. The course material is split in assignments, working from the model, group discussions etc. Lecturers will offer critiques throughout the course.
The large well-lit studios and professionally equipped workstations are also available outside of class.
At the end of the program, students receive a certificate stating the contents of the intensive studies program and their participation. This will determine their participation in the Major program.
The program is split into three seminars, which can only be taken all together.
- Seminar I:
In the 4 week long Seminar I, drawing is the focus. Working with the model will teach participants to grasp the forms of the human figure and- with the use of objects and installations- to incorporate it into full setups. Theory and practical foundation exercises are part of the course; covering the subjects of creative drawing (landscapes, animals and still life), search for ideas and concept development, composition and art history.
Weeklong seminars on woodblock and nude figure drawing are available to add to the course.
- Seminar II:
The two week long Seminar II is available in the Easter Courses offered. The supervision takes place the entire day. It is especially recommended to take printing courses and photography, as these are not offered during the other seminars. This way participants can expand their knowledge.
- Seminar III:
Seminar III takes place right after the Easter course. It is solely focused on painting. In these three weeks the lectures focus on figure painting, landscape painting and creative painting. Practical exercises, group critiques, theory of the fundamentals of art and finding of concepts as well as art history lectures and an excursion will add to the program.
