Programme modules

The school provides students with their own personal work space (studio) from the beginning of the specialised (BA hons) programme. Theoretical and practical part of the study are strongly intertwined.

• Foundation Studies in Art and Design

It should help students reveal their creative potential and achieve clear vision of their specialisation with the possibility of continue with courses on A.V.A. or on similar British or national HE institutions.

• Fine Arts

Interdisciplinary three year study of fine arts enables a flexible approach to fine art with strong consideration to fast changing cultural and social environment of today’s post-industrial era. The focus of the Fine Art programme is to provide a solid foundation in the visual arts and to build a broad based fine arts experience with an emphasis on idea/concept development. It promotes research of possible approaches in all useful visual disciplines, such as: painting, sculpture, installation, photo media, digital imaging, video/film, performance art, etc.

• Conceptualisation of Space

Also three year programme, based on art practices that combine fine art (mainly painting and sculpture), architecture, film, video and theatre. Students are encouraged to take full control of visual and other perceptual aspects of production with possibility of expression trough different realised forms and contents. The course is a combination of new theories and technologies and well established practices, such as: objective drawing and modelling, making of storyboards, scale models and technical plans, and digital imaging.
