Practical info
The master's program consists of 6 meetings spread over 8 months, the first and last of which take place with the entire group. In the group meetings, the emphasis is on analyzing and observing each other's work, exchanging, inspiring and learning from each other. Between start and finish, you will have a work meeting with your assigned supervisor every 6 weeks. You will discuss individually or in pairs the work created after previously received feedback. The meetings are in your individual tutor's studio. By arrangement, online feedback can also be provided.
Halfway through, you change supervisors. You speak to two of the three DIA-supervisors during the program. We take great care in matching participants and facilitators. Often the learning question is leading and we see which coach can give the best input based on his or her experience. In addition, we look at practical matters such as travel distance and match a participant who already knows one of the supervisors with the other two.
The cost for the master's program in Contemporary Drawing is € 1150 (incl. BTW). It is possible to request a contribution to the cost from Werktuig PPO: https://werktuigppo.nl/

Examples of learning questions from previous participants:
'While drawing, sometimes the (intentional) content or image slips away from me, I don't really know how to relate to it. I would like to get more insight into how far my works relate to each other, and whether it has enough of a recognizable kind of unity.'
'My tendency is to want to tell a 'story,' while at the same time I like to be seduced by purely the form and the material. How do I bring that together? My goal is to achieve more direction in my work and gain more certainty in how I present myself with my work.'
'My pitfall is that my work becomes pictures. How can I seek more abstraction and imagination?
Experiences of previous participants:
'Each time I went home in good spirits, confirmed in what I was doing and with concrete tools'
'More focus on the question: what am I making, what is important to me? And learning more about the question: how do others view my work?'
'It has done me good that other artists have looked carefully at my work. It has given me more confidence and direction. It has expanded my network.'
