For 13 years the School of Fine Arts in Offenburg
successfully offers to young people interested in artistic occupations
an unique orientation and prep-year: 'Interim course of study and
orientation year in Fine Arts'.
Generally, 90% of all participants leaving our school after the prep
year, were able to become registered in their field of interest within
an academy of arts, college of education, studio of arts and crafts or
an apprenticeship training position. It is a good chance, to clarify,
whether the intended career can be found in Fine Arts or if it’s
another vocational field the student should tackle.
The fine arts interim course of study and orientation year
opens up an innovative type and compilation of art and design-related
learning objectives for young people from 18 years onwards. The lessons
concentrate on the following domains: painting, graphic art, sculpture,
plastic art, constructive art, photography and video working.
The Minor fields of study Tai Chi, Aikido, percussion, dance and mode
of expressing movements back up the Major with contents that develop
important basic principals. These initiate creativity as, for example,
advancement of elementary structures of perception, development of
mental and physical show of force, strengthening of concentration,
encouraging strength of purpose or acting with confidence in general.
An own workplace in one of our art studios developes originality and
freelance work of each single participant.
As a compressed course of study we offer the necessary temporal and
structural basis to acquire professional prerequisites as well as
learning and deepening skills in craft. Expert knowledge and the
intensity of daily lessons produce new ideas which may garner interest
for ones personal advancement.
Additional practice oriented training – for example, time and
individual management, communication training - or daily routine topics
(eg. teamwork) complement the Major and Minor with interesting
exercises and learning patterns. Study trips to museums and exhibitions
in the local area cultivate examination of aspects between art and
cultural history as well as contemporary art. Lectures impart knowledge
and establish personal contacts to philosophical and social settings.
