Basic education in visual arts for children and young people consists of basic studies and advanced studies. The studies progress in study modules according to age group. The basic studies (800 hours) consist of PO1 (6–7-year-olds), PO2 (8–10-year-olds), PO3 (11–12-year-olds) and PO4 (13–14-year-olds). There is one study module for advanced studies (500 hours), which is studied from the age of 15 onwards.

There are 16 study sessions in the autumn term and 18 in the spring term. The duration of the study sessions for groups PO1-PO2 is 2 x 45 minutes and for groups PO3-PO4 and advanced studies 3 x 45 minutes. The studies may also include, for example, exhibition visits.

You can join the art school at any stage of your studies.
