While considering the infinite range of artistic expression in terms of the use of materials and techniques, the Department of Fine Arts helps students to build the foundations of an original style by breaking away from a conventional framework. Students study fine art of different nations and cultures and develop the ability to appreciate works based on their originality, interconnectedness, and universality.
The department offers a curriculum covering various painting styles to help students see beyond conventional concepts of painting. For example, they learn the traditional or contemporary techniques of Japanese painting and the traditional techniques of tempera and fresco. They can also take classes in printmaking or filmmaking in order to seek their own voice.
Many graduates devote themselves entirely to the creation of their own work. The department also produces artists whose broad understanding and knowledge of the visual arts enables them to obtain employment in the broadcasting, telecommunications, or publishing industries, or become art educators in the field of primary and secondary education or continuing education for adults. Others pursue careers ranging from art advisors and art museum officials to art therapists.
