After applying you are warmly invited to join the admission day at the academy in Zwolle. The day starts at 9:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm. This is what to expect:
- You will work on two assignments: a drawing assignment and a spatial or visual assignment, such as a collage sketch or material research.
- You will talk with lecturers and students on the programme. You will tell them about your motivation and your homework assignments. We are interested in your ideas, your way of thinking and how you talk about your work. Together we will discover whether this programme is right for you.
We will look at:
- Your creative ability: We look at how well you can express your ideas and feelings with images. Can you make something from what you see or from an idea? We will also assess your sense of colour, form and materials. And we will look at whether your work has its own style or character.
- Your motivation and communication: Can you explain clearly what inspires you and what you find interesting? Can you talk about this with others? We will also look at whether you can reflect clearly on your own work: what went well and what could be improved?
- Your way of exploring and reflecting: We will assess whether you are curious and like trying things out. Are you interested in art and culture? Can you compare images effectively and say or explain something about them?
