My goal this year was to make as many good friends as possible and I have really achieved that.

- Theodore Bakken

One of the things that was important to me was a great diversity of students, and at Elverum FHS I think everyone will find someone they can relate to.

Study trips with the art line

We focus on good experiences and gather lots of inspiration.

  • Lofoten
  • København 
  • Berlin and Venice 

In Lofoten we live near the sea, the forces of nature and not least the light. We shape glass balls and have a workshop at Galleri Espollin.

On the pre-Christmas trip to Copenhagen we experience the contrast from The Free State of Christiania to The Little Mermaidat the same time as we study masterpieces at the Norwegian Museum of Art. We get into the Christmas spirit in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Danish Theatre's Gamle Stage where we watch "The Nutcracker" and end the trip with an evening at the fairground.

Berlin is a vibrant city. You get to experience architecture, history, local street art and vintage shops. We visit an art studio where we draw with a professional model. In addition, we see a spectacular show at Friedrichsstadt, the world's largest theater stage.

Venice is the city of beauty, magnificent architecture, canals and history. We look at modern art at the Peggy Guggenheim and take the boat out to the famous colorful Burano Island.
