The programme enables students to acquire basic knowledge and skills in the field and to undertake a specialising path in the subject of interest through a project-based and experiential didactic approach.

After the first year, students choose their specialisation, with specific and elective courses during the second and the third year and a last specialised semester.

FIRST YEAR 

Introduces students to the basic tools to approach knowledge and production of contemporary artistic practices.

Students analyse modern and contemporary artistic researches and experience various techniques of representation and visual languages, through theoretical, project-based and lab teachings of artistic anatomy, history of modern art, painting techniques, visual arts, drawing, phenomenology of contemporary arts, painting, photography, as well as through meetings with art system professionals.
 

SECOND YEAR

Guides students towards further improvement in the field by choosing one of the programme specialisations (Painting, Visual Arts) and through specialising studies in history of contemporary art, visual arts, visual arts techniques and technologies, public art, aesthetics, painting, video installations, sculpture.

Led by teachers through practical experiences, students learn how to manage theoretical, technical, formal and content features of an art project, and how to deal with languages and tools required to enter the world of contemporary art.
 

THIRD YEAR

Defines students knowledge and skills and provide the opportunity to deepen their personal researches, to relate with different design and exhibition methods and to know the latest trends in contemporary art, visual representation and exhibition practice starting from the idea of artwork and display.

By the end of the programme, students develop a personal method and language through specialising teachings of history of contemporary art, visual arts, painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, video installations, cultural anthropology and didactic activities related to the thesis project, in its theoretical and project-based components.
