About Hi, my name is Jelmer Coppens, I am 21 years old and live in Haarlem, the Netherlands. I am doing a Higher professional bachelor in fine art and Design in education. I am in my second year of a total of four years, where I learn to make art, look at art and transfer my knowledge. I learn to work with different techniques and materials, do internships at schools, cultural institutions or with artists and go on a study trip abroad every year. I also work (outside of the Academy) on art projects. As a prospective art teacher, I develop my creative talent, my critical view of the world and learn how to transfer this. After graduation, I am authorized to teach in primary education, pre-vocational secondary education, lower and upper secondary education, and in cultural organizations.
Before this education I did a level 4 Senior secondary vocational education to become a creative
professional. As a creative professional, you work as an independent professional and entrepreneur
who designs, makes and sells products. During the education I learned both traditional craftsmanship
and new (digital) techniques, which I use to develop traditional and innovative products and
combinations thereof. I made products on commission or create products on my own initiative and
put them on the market. It often concerns unique or small series of products. This is in line with the
development that customers are increasingly asking for authentic and unique products. Products of
which they know who made it and which have a story behind it.
In the first year I learned about wood and leather
products, in the second year I specialized in shoes, bags
and hats and specialized again in the third year in hats. I
also did my final exam in making hats.
Besides education I am a Scout. I am an adult member of
a local scout group and a national volunteer. As national
volunteer I work on the development and promotion of
the rover scout program. I was also involved in
representing of my national scout organisation during
multiple events and seminars.
