The Three-year BA Program in Painting and Visual Arts acknowledges the transformations of the contemporary artistic practices, when they abandoned the disciplinary borders of fine arts in order to incorporate a new approach to the design practice and the interaction with the different productive and social environments.
Thus, the program aims at training and preparing students to develop multiple artistic forms and to experiment and reinterpret the traditional academic approach; it also encourages them to investigate the relationship between painting and other visual arts as well as the relationship between image and project, with the aim of reflecting on the role of “being artistic” in the contemporary society. In fact, besides painting, students also study photography, videoart, performing arts, sculpture, and urban and landscape design.
During the third year of the program students can choose between two specialization paths:
- Painting (Specialization A)
- Visual Arts (Specialization B)
