| Further Information In order to broaden each student’s personal horizon, particular opportunities are offered - for example attending international contemporary stagecraft in Strasburg / France or participation in projects. Public art lectures are offered, free of charge, at the Offenburg School of Arts, as well as further carefully selected agenda highlights. The orientation year’s concept takes into account a great number of vocational training and occupational fields which are permanently subject to change. Extensive requirements as to freelance work, creativity and personal capability for innovation are influenced by these changes. Each student aims to have or to develop more flexibility, self-discipline as well as the quality of deciding or being proactive. In this day and age, there is a basic necessity for teamwork and the ability work in task forces. To cope positively with these demands, wide-ranging interpersonal skills have to be acquired. On the one hand, interpersonal skills require direct practical experience in art during the course of study. On the other hand, they are based on purposeful education and learning environment presented by the teaching staff. However, each interpersonal skill are mainly acquired by tangible and concrete exercises within project work. Another important factor is that all students have their own workplace within our large art studio, available at any time for freelance work during the course of study. Fine arts offer a large variety of fields of study, building up so called key qualifications that can easily be used in other fields of education or during apprenticeship. The fine arts course of study and orientation year is focussed on acquiring practical basic skills and techniques in the fields of painting, graphics, sculpture, photography and video. Individual works of craftsmanship are prepared for portfolios for job applications in the student’s desired field of artistic work later on. Teaching is done by qualified and experienced teaching staff, every week from Monday till Thursday, from 08.30 – 13.00 hrs. Friday serves as personal study day. After 14.00 hrs, each student can use his or her own workplace within a large art studio for their freelance art work and studies. During these hours, meetings can take place and discussions on the work in process or on art in general can be held with professional artists. In addition to the weekly instruction there will be workshops with guest lecturers in subjects such as performance, dance, graphic arts and prints, or a week-end seminar ‘design-crash-course’. An excursion to Berlin, attendance at talks on art, philosophy and art history enhances the course offerings. Furthermore, students can participate, free of charge or at a considerable discount, any other courses offered by the School of Arts in Offenburg. In the first half of the orientation year, excursions are planned to six training schools in the fields of art, design, fashion and creative art education. As far as photography is concerned, we offer a photo studio and laboratory for black/white photos and digital image processing for photos or videos. The successful conclusion of the orientation year is achieved by processing and creating an object of art or project which is shown during a public exhibition. We have been offering the fine arts interim course of study and orientation year for the past 13 years – our concept is permanently being optimized so that it continues to be up-to-date and ready for new challenges. © Kunstschule
