The School of Art offers degree programs in Fine Arts and Design with an integrated approach to Art and Design learning. It bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary art making practices of the region by recognizing their shared histories, processes of making and the interdependence of their prospective global faces. The School of Art believes that the highest standards of creative excellence are achieved when theoretical clarity is matched with expert practical knowledge. Therefore, rigoRead Morerous studio practice is placed at the center of the School’s academic structure. The studio practice is complimented by a comprehensive History of Art and Theory of Art component that looks at local and global histories and theories of art making, as a way for our students to be able to situate and envision art-making vocabularies within social and cultural contexts. In order to facilitate maximum academic freedom to meet personal goals, students are encouraged to construct a personalized academic scheme of study that is made up of a combination of courses across all four schools of IAC.
