The artistic and personal progress of the students
is focused throughout the education at Trondheim Academy
of Fine Art (KIT). KIT offers Bachelor (3 years) and
Master studies (2 years) in fine art. Our teaching
is based on openness, dialogue and critical reflection.The
students move freely in a flexible enviroment. With
support from teachers and guest teachers of different
artistic orientation and background, the students
may explore and challenge, gather knowledge, reflect
and act.
Through individual tutorials, peer to peer discussions,
projects and exhibitions, the students develop their own
artistic work. KIT is the only Norwegian art academy within
the university system. This provides unique resources
and possibilities to collaborate with other faculties
such as polytechnics, architecture and the humanities.
The world becomes smaller, but Trondheim is still at the
border of the European art world. We acknowledge this
perspective by providing access to information, travel
and international guests. KIT maintains close relationships
with international art and is consciously engaged in the
development of contemporary art. The dynamics and discussions
of contemporary art is our most important frame of reference.
We relate to the actual situation in light of contemporary
and earlier artistic, philosphical and social waves.
