The Gerrit Rietveld Academie is an open environment for education in Fine Arts and Design, in which Students prepare for individual and collective art practices in great independence and with a great deal of self-organisation, from different perspectives and histories, and in dialogue with the world. Graduates of the Institution can contribute to communities, contexts and situations in a critical and experimental way, or create them themselves.
Assessments
Two assessments are held each Academic Year. At that time the Student presents the work he/she/they has/have made in the preceding period to the Assessment Committee. This committee consists of the supervising lecturers of the Student concerned.
During the assessments the supervising lecturers look at the visual ability, the effort, the presentation, the technical aspects, the development, the communication about the work and the ability to reflect on and analyse the work.
The Student makes a presentation of the work he/she/they made in the previous period. The Assessment Committee of the Student concerned, visits this presentation and enters into a dialogue with the Student about the work, the work process and the development made. The committee shall by mutual agreement reach a joint conclusion. The result of this assessment will be made known to the Student, at least verbally, on the same day.
