About Image and Form

Capellagården's courses have an artistic orientation with scheduled time for drawing and painting under qualified artistic guidance. The training of the hand and eye in the workshops is supplemented in the painting studio with color, form and composition exercises, where individual conditions are taken into account. Painting/drawing is arranged in four week-long blocks distributed over the school year.

A general history of art with an emphasis on Western art is taught as a separate course for all first-year students. Before fairs and exhibitions, there is work around presentation and exhibition technology.

For journeyman work at Möbel 2, the student pays for all materials themselves and thus also keeps the final product.
