In these classes, you will work on your own aims in drawing and painting. An artist will advise you on any technical questions and will support your individual development. The relevant teacher will be familiar and experienced on various areas, both as a teacher and as a practicing artist. The individual guidance is combined with group assignments. In short; you will receive customised support in which development and implementation is the key.
The meetings are suitable for advanced students who want to work more independently, as well as for half-advanced students who want to tackle a particular technique or topic. Some experience in the field of Visual Arts (drawing, painting, photography etc.) is a plus, but not a prerequisite. Inner motivation is just as important. Also, participants who want to build a portfolio for any art related follow-up study, are welcome.
There is a lot of freedom and opportunity to concentrate on a specific subject. You can, for instance, spend a number of classes on a single piece or a series of works. In addition, there are also ongoing shorter assignments, if you would prefer to work on anything else.

Although under the guidance of the teacher, who is available to discuss any questions you have and to question you back, you will be given as much space as needed for your own creation. The customised support ensures that each participant can openly do his or her "thing", without becoming too restricted or too lost.
The classes are frequently introduced with a brief introduction about an artist, art movement or technique, occasionally based on a current show at that time.
As a participant in one of these groups, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in a group exhibition once a year. The created work is exhibited at Ateliers Westerdok for about 4 weeks. At the opening of this exhibition you are welcome to invite your own friends and acquaintances.
There are several meetings offered every week, each led by its own art teacher with their own point of view. You can choose to sign up as a fixed weekly participant or follow loose meetings with your flex card.

free drawing and painting from observation Wednesday morning
These classes are great if you want to develop your skills in drawing and painting. You examine how you can depict your subject in an interesting way, and the technical capabilities of your material. You can work in watercolour, acrylic, oil or with drawing materials. There are possibilities for outdoor drawing and painting, to draw and paint from still life, and to paint from both portrait models and from photography. A life model can be hired based on group consultation.
Techniques are shown in demonstrations and inspiration is given by discussing the work of artists.
There is guidance by a fixed art teacher, or the occasional guest art teacher.

free work from inspiration, imagination, tradition and abstraction Thursday evening
These classes are great if you want to further develop your own free work. This could be a series of illustrations you're dealing with or, for example, the creation of a book, whether or not combined with text. On the other hand, you could develop abstract paintings where, for example, the use of material plays an important role. It could also be the case that you want to continue on a path already taken, and would like feedback during this process.
Attention is paid to contemporary art in comparison to the more traditional art forms and styles and how they inspire each other. There is a focus on the overlaps between illustration and free art, and how they can positively influence each other.
During the classes, you explore different opportunities and methods for depicting different topics. By viewing the work of artists and exploring different techniques (lino print, working in a variety of formats, experimenting with the use of various surfaces for a work, or making a scale model, for example) you come to new ideas and therefore new work.
