Orientation in contemporary painting practices with references to painting history.
Art is communication. To discuss the works produced by other artists and to study and use the knowledge as a guiding light towards something a student want to accomplish in his/her own work.
Placing yourself and your work in a discourse, using that as one kind of a method in a working process, results in a new way of thinking, making and understanding. What triggers you? What or who is your inspiration?
