Work at Studio includes step by step basic phenomena in painting in combination with practical exercises of figure painting using a model in the studio. Here, basic painting skills are being developed with an emphasis on the specific phenomenon of painting. The course focuses on volume painting of figures and still lifes. Lectures on displaying objects in space and still lifes are divided into two parts: 1AMA1 history up to the 19th century, and 1AMA2 continues with the theory of still lifes from the 20th century to the present.
