In case you didn’t know: a branch of the Rijksmuseum is planned for our campus (next to the Dommel) in the coming years. But this season, we’re already heading to ‘the Rijks’ in Amsterdam to admire… and draw.
Join Studium Generale and Eindhoven’s Student Art Club Glyph for a special excursion to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Explore one of the Netherlands’ most iconic museums and take part in a hands-on sketching workshop by TU/e lecturer and visual artist Hélène Aarts.
The Rijksmuseum is not only known for its world-famous art collection, but also for its architecture by one of the most famous Dutch architects, During the workshop, you’ll create a collective panorama sketch, combining 2D and 3D drawing, to capture the space. Afterward, you’re free to wander around and sketch whatever you like.
With over 8,000 objects spanning 800 years of Dutch art and history, including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh, there’s plenty to discover.
Through the panorama-sketching workshop, you’ll discover how sketching helps you look more closely, experience art more actively, and connect observation with creativity.
No drawing experience needed, just curiosity. See you at the Rijks!
