Are you interested in art? Would you like to try the different artistic techniques and develop you visual language? Would you like to discuss the place of art in society? (In Norwegian language.)

Her får du prøve deg innen både grunnleggende og nyere teknikker, med lærere som selv er aktive billedkunstnere.

Vi reiser til Berlin i vårsemesteret! Der reiser vi sammen med mange av de andre linjene, og besøker flere ulike museer og ser kunst fra ulike historiske perioder.

Du jobber både fritt og selvstendig, og sammen med dine medstudenter med ulike oppgaver. Du får individuell veiledning for ditt nivå, med felles gjennomganger og samtaler.

Sammen med de andre studentene får du din egen plass i et lyst og luftig atelier med utsikt over Mjøsa, som du har tilgang til også utenom undervisningstid.

Lillehammer er en kulturby, med flere kunstinstitusjoner som vi bruker aktivt i undervisningen, som Lillehammer Kunstmuseum, Oplandia senter for samtidskunst, og Maihaugen.
