The springschool is a new initiative of MASieraad, intended for students or graduates of art academies, and artists/designers/teachers that seek to deepen their work. We are looking for an international group of participants. At the first spring school Aldo Bakker, Liesbeth den Besten, Ted Noten and Ruudt Peters give each one day of teaching. MAGNITUDE takes place in the Dutch countryside.
MAGNITUDE
In astronomy, MAGNITUDE is a unitless measure of the brightness of an object in a defined passband, often in the visible or infrared spectrum, but sometimes across all wavelengths. An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus.
In this springschool MAGNITUDE we learn how to look, work, write, and talk. The tree artists and art-historian guide you on the way to delve deeper into your own visual language and get a better understanding of your artistic language.
In MAGNITUDE we emphasize an awareness of your place as artist/jewellery-maker in the jewellery field. MAGNITUDE is about strength, we will positively convert this energy into art and art- jewellery.
It can be difficult to stick clearly to your concept until the very end – critics, former teachers or the wearer are always looking over your shoulder. In MAGNITUDE we will silence those inner voices and celebrate the making, trying to discover MAGNITUDE in all its possible entities. You learn to think open minded in MAGNITUDE and give shape to your own dreams.
The MAGNITUDE springschool is built on a step-by-step process of education in which an end product is not the most important goal. The emphasis lies on personal guidance and development. The participants are given the tools with which to continue this process on their own. By means of direct action people learn to take steps.
