About Art+

During the year at Art+, you will develop your ability to draw, to observe objects, and to perceive the relationship between an object and the surrounding space. We work with a wide range of materials, including oil paint, acrylics, ink, spray paint, and more. We explore various drawing and painting techniques that you can incorporate into your own artistic expression. Solid technique, a strong artistic voice, and creativity are essential prerequisites for creating great art.

Street art has been part of the curriculum at Art+ for the past ten years. Through this, we have developed a deep understanding of the art form and have hosted numerous international street artists as guest instructors. As a student, you will be introduced to various forms of street art, such as murals, stenciling, graffiti, and paste-ups.
