Since the characteristics of each project are different, the subjects studied can therefore vary quite a bit from student to student. Depending on the subjects chosen by the student, the teaching will take place both individually, in small groups, and in whole classes in the various chosen subjects.
Each student has a production budget that can also be used in part to consult with experts outside of the school to the extent that the faculty lacks expertise in certain aspects of the project. The final examination takes place in the form of a presentation for an audience in a suitable venue for the production. Over the years, it has usually been the case that the students in Free Art have taken part in and presented their projects in connection with the festival Ljudvågor (Sound Waves).
Goals of the course
