Painting and Visual Arts

The BA explores the transformation of contemporary art practices, connecting art with different areas of the production and social contexts. Relating to the dynamics and values of the contemporary art system, the programme reinterprets and expands the traditional academic approach to painting and visual arts, guiding students through experimentation, investigating a variety of environments, techniques and methods, which will support them in developing an individual way of expressing themselves and their personal artistic ideas.

Over the BA, students will have the opportunity to:

• Learn basic skills in drawing, painting, graphic design, video, photography, sound design, history of art and contemporary art field
• Produce and display artistic works
• Demonstrate communication and organizational skills relevant to the art and cultural field

NABA provides students with the opportunity to study abroad as part of their academic experience.
