It is the strength beyond techniques and knowledge to master your expressions through arts.

It is the strength beyond techniques and knowledge to master your expressions through arts.

In our curriculums, students can experience all four courses (oil painting, Japanese painting, printmaking, and sculpture) during the first year. By expressing a broad range of expressions, students can find their own artistic methods which are suitable to them. From the second year onward, in their selected courses, each student can master specialized techniques and methods, and explore new artistic fields such as computer arts. For four years here, students not only make a profound study of techniques, but also ask about what and how they should express themselves in their own ways. They construct solid bases for people who can express themselves.

Oil Painting Course

This is the place where you find and polish your own expressions after studying all the theories and techniques of oil painting.

Students obtain basic knowledge in the lecture class such as “Introduction of Painting”. They also improve their skills of oil painting in practice. After studying sketching and image expressions fully, they master specific skills in three fields such as “representational paintings”, “abstract paintings”, and “paintings adopted new materials and expressions”. Improving drawing techniques and polishing their senses and expressing methods, they push forward their own works for graduation projects.

Japanese Painting Course

With respects for traditions and innovations, students will grow with a critical eye.

Students learn basics of two and three dimensional expressions while taking the other filed such as oil painting into their views, and they study about thoughts and expressions exclusive to the Japanese Paintings, as well as conceptualization, how to deal with painting materials, and techniques from basics. Students aim to create new expressions broadening the possibilities of the Japanese Painting. They exhibit their art works to the art exhibitions and contests in and out or the university. In this way, they improve their creativity and expressive methodologies through criticisms and opinions of their fellow students.

Printmaking Course

After studying a board range of printmaking techniques, students get their abilities of using them freely.

Firstly, students learn expressions and how to form concepts in both two and three-dimensional areas. In practical training courses, students understand the characteristics of printmaking by learning the history of printmaking and experiencing various kinds of materials. In the second year onwards, students are divided into four categories such as wood-block printing, lithography, copperplate, and screen-printing and they deepen their understandings of the knowledge and skills of tools as well as the characteristics of expressions. This program seeks to foster talented people who aim to create art works unrestricted by preconceived notions.

Sculpture Course

Students study materials, and polish their skills. The power of concepts and composition grew by leaps and bounds.

The course consists of the first part (stone, wood, metal, and molding) and the second part (comprehensive materials). After studying the basics, in the first part, students are trained to have the power of sketching, composition and techniques through modeling (clay and casting) and carving (stone and wood). In the second part, students are trained to have the power of conception and composition theoretically connected to a broad range of materials (cloth, light, water, sound, and air) and spaces, images, and notion. The purpose of this course is to create three-dimensional artworks utilizing innovative concepts and flexible ideas.
