Marnix Bras’s Education
-
ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten
Bachelor of Art, Architectonic Design, 1996 — 2001
Architectonische Vormgeving - Monumentaal (Architectural Design - Monumental) , later on OK5 - Beeldende Kunst en de Publieke Ruimte (Visual Art and the Public Space). An Architectonic acedemic art school with a hands-on mentality, where I learned to think in creative concepts, without boundaries.
I my classroom I was a pioneer in Digital Design techniques and presentation techniques. Specialized in visualizations of concepts. -
Wageningen Universiteit en Researchcentrum
-, Food Science, 1993 — 1995
In this university I learned to think beyond borders, be critical, found many friends etc. etc. The Food Science master degree was not for me, because I could not find the creativity I looked for. To much dry chemistry. After two years I quited, started several jobs, in the meanwhile attempting to write in to an Art School, which i attended in Arnhem from 1996 till 2001 (and got my degree there finally :-) )
