Painting

The master study programme Painting represents an in-depth basis for professional artistic activity and further education of students. In three fields of study – Graphics, Painting and Video, Animation and New Media – it provides acquisition of abilities for the students for independent and active artistic activity in contemporary art and related areas of social life and work where aesthetic skills and an innovative approach are required. By encouraging students to develop analytical and methodical skills as well as thoughtful and critical thinking, the Painting master's programme provides them with valuable competencies that can be transferred and used in various areas of professional and social life. The programme is based on the students’ own artistic production and the master's project connected with it, consisting of the artwork and its theoretical explanation. The entirety of study at the Department of Painting is organised in the form of a development spiral, which in different phases and at different levels includes professional and general knowledge, studio experience and technological development. These encourage students to solve problems, experiment, and develop a capacity for innovative thinking and opens for them pathways to the possibilities of individual practice.
