DRAWING INVENTIONS ACADEMY (DIA)
Drawing Inventions Academy is a master's program for professional artists for whom drawing is the starting point.A maximum of 12 participants per course are selected from the applications. Meanwhile, 60 artists have successfully completed the master's program. For applications for the next trajectory that starts in September 2024, see 'application and selection' on this website.
Contemporary drawing has established its own position in the art world over the past twenty years. The quality of medium ranges from the directness of drawing a line to technically elaborate drawings with great originality and expressiveness.
We start from drawing as an autonomous discipline and from this vision we will explore and stretch the limits of drawing with participants, always starting from the individual quality and need of the artist. All possibilities can be explored, for example drawings in series, wall drawings, installations, in book form or as a projection.
Mariette Linders,Marisa Rappard andArno Kramer started DIA out of a lack of a setting in which to provide professional artists at the master's level with feedback . Current mentors are. Arno Kramer, Caren van Herwaarden and Marisa Rappard.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The master's program consists of 6 meetings, the first and last of which take place with the entire group of 12 participants. In between, individual work discussions take place with your assigned supervisor. Prior to the program, you will formulate a learning question that will guide the discussions. You will be given concrete tools to take new steps and to sharpen the form and content of your work where necessary.
