Painting

4-year Bachelor
2-year Master

SAFAA offers Bachelor and Master programmes in Painting on full-time basis. The academic programmes are based on classical and national cultural traditions and values. They are elaborated upon investigation of modern technologies as well as international experience. Students learn to get dimensional-spatial images through the help of lines and colours, to use plastic dimensions, to find unique solutions to compositional structure and colour. Particular attention is attached to the work with life models to ensure the relevant picture and compositional colour choice that are real guarantees of professional skills for painting.

Starting from the second year of Bachelor studies, the teaching and learning process mainly takes place in studios run by prominent artists. At Master’s level, the programme focuses on creativity, critical thinking as well as development of research abilities of the student.

In the fourth year of Bachelor level diploma defence is carried out. The final assessment of Master’s degree is carried out in the form of master’s thesis or a complex creative compositional work defence. In case of compositional work the graduate introduces an extended explanatory or the research study referring to the work subject to defence. The final work should express not only students’ academic knowledge and creative abilities but also research skills. For the preparation of Master’s thesis or compositional work, a supervisor and an opponent are assigned to the graduate. If necessary, also a life model is assigned. The topic, scope, size is approved by the chair of Painting.
