We teach:

Painting techniques, specialties: traditional painting and gilding techniques addressed to art students whose greatest passion is painting. The main task of teaching in the field of painting and gilding techniques is to equip the student with knowledge and skills enabling independent and creative use of them in creative work. In addition to such tasks as enriching the workshop, shaping aesthetic sensitivity and the ability to use artistic means, the most important thing is for an art school student to take full advantage of his artistic and workshop development opportunities. Graphic techniques, specialization:graphic design is an interesting offer for people who want to deal with computer graphics professionally. By learning traditional graphic techniques, the student acquires the ability to consciously use the artistic language in functional graphic techniques, creative thinking and expressing his own artistic views. Photography and film, specialization: artistic photography carried out according to the program, which was created for students who value independence, with their deep passions, conscious and wise artistic soul. The program assumes a departure from the dominance of the traditional model of communication in the classroom in favor of cooperation and communication between students. The main goal is to stimulate the independence, activity and creativity of a young person in acquiring new skills. The method of work, based on the workshop formula of practical classes, is the most important part and task of the entire program Sculptural forms, specializations:sculpting techniques, artistic ceramics are intended for people who are not afraid of the trouble of creating works in materials that they would not have thought were made for it.We haven’t done any Erasmus projects before but we have lots of local projects and exhibitions in the city and we have experienced partners in Erasmus+ projects. This will be a well-planned project and it will provide us a nice cooperation.                                                                                                                                          Krzysztof Kuberek, the school coordinator and Dorota Bobowska, the project coordinator (the contact person) are the key persons for the project.                      Our school teachers Ewa Panczyk Halubiec is especially very good at water-gilding.The school provides many kinds of gilding techniques so the participants will get very different basic skills for this kind thanks to our experienced teachers.Gilding is a bit similar to the Marbling-Art(Ebru) which we will experience in Turkey mobility.
