We work with artistic expression in a variety of materials so that you get a feel for different ways of expressing yourself. Thoughts, ideas, processes and practical work are included in the education. You will get an understanding of the creative process by working concentrated in 18-days courses with the various materials in the school’s workshops and studios. The different courses are connected and what you learn in one course you can also use in the other courses.

Work and results are subjects of group discussions or exhibitions where you and your classmates share the experience of process and method. Our knowledgeable teachers give you guidance and in-depth knowledge of both theory and practice.

Drawing and painting is included in all programs at Nyckelviksskolan, but on the program General Art, Crafts and Design you will get the opportunity of in-depth studies. Painting and drawing exercises lay the foundation for developing your vision and expressiveness, which you then use in freer projects and assignments.

The education at Nyckelviksskolan is full-time with a high work rate and teacher presence, which means you spend a lot of time at the school. Conversation, communication and sharing ideas and work process are important parts of the education, as is learning in groups. This demands a high attendance.
