CURRICULUM 2015- 2016
CLASSICAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS
Groningen
1 SUBJECT MATERIAL
Classical fine art converges with the west European artistic
tradition from the Middle Ages onwards. It has always
been a dynamic tradition encompassing discovery, change,
movement and counter movement. Important
characteristics are the recognition of form and the illusion
of space on a flat surface, such characteristics, which
nowadays are found mainly in photography, still rely on
the “old skills” for their employment in various fields
ranging from realistic art, illustration to game design.
Students draw with charcoal, chalk, pastel, pen and ink,
reed pen as well as duck wings, kneaded erasers and
stomps; there are lessons in hatching, washing,
highlighting and much more.
1.3 COMPOSITION
Composition is a basic principle in visual art, the various
approaches are studied within the methodology of
preparation and construction of a painting. Additionally
we look at the role of composition as the carrier of
expression.
1.1 TECHNIQUES, KNOWLEDGE AND
SKILLS
We define techniques as follows:



The use of various types of paint
Shading
Reproduction techniques etc.
as well as knowledge, skill and insight into



composition
tone and colour
volume and perspective, etc.
and the ability to combine the various components in one
picture.
Xandra Donders
1.4 TONAL VALUES
1.2 DRAWING TECHNIQUES
Tonal values are the gradations between light and dark, all
grey tints between black and white, but also all tints
between light and dark in every colour.
Jan van der Kooi
1.5
COLOUR
Colour theory
Knowledge of colour is essential as well as the effect of
complementary colours, warm and cool colours,
brightness and saturation, etc.
1.6 PALETTE
1.7 FORM STUDY
Annelies Middel
Form study requires the development of fine motor skills.
With practice students develop the ability to reproduce
the subject accurately and to create tension in the drawing
or the painting. The best way to practise this is through
figure drawing from life.
.
.
1.8 ANATOMY
Juane Xue
Preparing and mixing colours is normally done on a
palette. The selection of colours is paramount but mixing a
palette is a very personal matter: students are taught the
rudiments and are given guidelines, never rules.
In order to reproduce the human figure a thorough
knowledge of the human anatomy is essential.
1.9 VOLUME
Paul Boswijk
The idea of reality can be suggested on a two-dimensional
surface, i.e. the artist creates an illusion of volume on a
flat surface.
1.10 ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE
1.11 LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
Joost Doornik
In paintings of buildings and still life the use of linear
perspective, discovered 500 years ago in the Renaissance,
is indispensable for creating the credible illusion of space.
1.12 TEXTURAL EXPRESSION
Peter Durieux
The illusion of depth can be created by means of
perspective; in landscapes by aerial or atmospheric
perspective, thus creating space by decreasing saturation
and contrast in colours.
Chris Herenius
Textural realism depends on the artist’s ability to
adequately express the visual properties of the subject
matter. A piece of rock looks quite different to a
cauliflower. The surface of a cotton cloth differs from that
of a silk handkerchief. A stretch of sand looks different to
a pool of water. Textural expression relies on the artist’s
skill in defining these properties.
1.13 PAINTING STYLE
painting material demands a different approach, for
example painting with transparent watercolours as
opposed to opaque oil paint. Finally the individual
‘signature’ or the surface finish of the paint will determine
the end result.
1.15 FORMS OF EXPRESSION
Arnout van Albada
The various painting methods will be dealt with; from a
single layer to several layers of paint and from textured to
smooth.
1.14 PAINTING TECHNIQUE
Riny Bus (watercolour)
A distinction is made between wet in wet painting
techniques and layered painting as well as painting with
areas of colour as opposed to painting with contours. Each
Ruud de Rode
The essential nature of the image is its expression or
charisma. The variations are innumerable and depend on
the personality or even the mood of the maker but they
are often underpinned by certain rules. Students learn the
basic principles during lessons and later in the Master
classes.
1.16 IMAGINATION
1.17 PRINTMAKING TECHNIQUES
Siemen Dijkstra (woodcut)
Tom S. Hageman
A picture can be enhanced in two ways; by an idiosyncratic
interpretation of an observation or by using forms from
the imagination of the maker or by a mixture of both.
Observation is always the starting point but the Academy
never underestimates the imagination
Editions of prints can be made by hand. The most popular
printmaking techniques are taught during workshops in
the second year, i.e. relief, intaglio and lithography. It is
possible to continue studies in printmaking and to
specialise in this field.
1.18 ARTISTS’ MATERIALS
Foto: Xandra Donders
In all artisan professions a knowledge of materials and
their qualities is imperative. Experience is built up during
painting lessons both in practice and in theory. Working
with different materials during the lessons allows students
to gain a greater understanding of how they work.
1.19 ART IN HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Visual art dates back 40.000 years and is one of the oldest
traditions of mankind. The study of art history is part of
the artist’s general development. This also applies, to a
lesser extent, to (classical) literature, music history and
religious knowledge in relation to its artistic expression.
1.20 SELF-TUITION
Self-tuition is an important part of the study. Students
must be able to work independently on assignments and
elaborate on studies. This self-tuition plays an increasing
role during the course and forms the main substance in
the last study year.
1.21 VOCATIONAL PREPARATION
Finally vocational training is given to prepare students for
the day-to-day practice of their profession.

5.11 FINAL CRITERIA
ART APPRECIATION
AND CULTURAL HISTORY
Third year students of Art Appreciation write an essay
twice a year in November and May on an exhibition or a
painting. The essay is not only a formal report on for
example subject matter and composition but should also
deal with the context (where and how is the exhibition
staged, who is the artist, in what sort of historical or social
environment was the artwork created etc.). Attention to
narrative, style and content is very important. In this way
students are prepared to write about their own work and
learn to observe in different ways. The subject matter of
the essay should be studied within the oeuvre and time
frame of the artist.
Students are assessed in their ability to provide insight into
the way a work of art is made and its meaning.
A certificate is awarded to students at the end of the third
year of the vocational course.
6 FOURTH AND FIFTH YEAR

At the beginning of the second year of the master
schooling students must do a presentation according to
the guidelines provided for their own group of students
and teachers. Using visual material of their own work
students look back over the four-year course through
review and self-evaluation. The presentation should give a
clear indication of the area in which the student plans to
graduate. The presentations are supervised and assessed
by Eric Bos and Miranda van Gelderen.
7.6 MASTER 2ND YEAR
VOCATIONAL PREPARATION
The Vocational preparation programme serves to prepare
students for the day-to-day practice of their profession.
In a series of guest lectures and excursions students are
introduced to all aspects of the profession, for example:
presentation, how museums, visual art centres and
galleries function, the criteria used by critics and the
business aspects of an artistic career. These take place in
the second year of the master schooling.
WORK WEEKS/EXCURSIONS
A work week (abroad) of landscape painting is also
scheduled in the Master schooling as well as a museum
excursion which takes place during the week following the
autumn holiday. Students can register via Eloka.
7.8
FINAL EXAMINATION
The emphasis shifts in the second year from guided study
to working independently with feedback from tutors.
Students can also enrol for elective courses, availability
permitting.
Students can arrange meetings with chosen tutors for
periodical guidance. Finally students can request
commentary and advice for a period of one hour from an
artist of their choice (outside the Master schooling).
This consists of:

Presentation
The various presentation techniques and forms
with emphasis on photography for printwork,
digital presentations and printed material.
Market
How galleries determine their operating policy,
what plays a role in their choices.

documentation, assignments and the art library.
How do museums determine their policy, what
plays a role in their decision making.
Business
The business aspects of an artistic career.
8 GRADUATION
With the approval of the graduation committee a diploma
will be awarded to students who graduate after
completion of the two-year Master schooling.
Graduates need to attain not only a high level of
competence but must also produce a number of quality
works for the concluding exhibition (this oeuvre is the final
examination project).
If a student does not attain the required level the study
may be prolonged once.
students’ studies but also as the launch of their artistic
career.
The Master schooling is concluded with a diploma and an
exhibition.
8.1 GRADUATION EXHIBITION
Students’ work produced during the Master schooling in
their own studios is exhibited in the Graduation Exhibition
which is hosted in June by Kunstlievend Genootschap
