Program description
Through technical instruction, critical thinking, and historical context, students in the Plastic Arts Program are encouraged to develop their artistic practice as part of intellectual and critical inquiry.
The program combines the visual arts and history with lectures and seminars in fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, architecture, design, technology, and the natural sciences to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and creative problem solving.
Students have the potential to make a significant difference locally, nationally, and internationally with the help of the excellent faculty and unparalleled technical and studio tools. Students get to learn from a wide variety of professors thanks to a core team and cross-faculty personnel who run studios and lectures.
The Kyrenia Campus of ARUCAD encourages students to think critically, openly, and experimentally while providing them with the self-assurance, experience, and skills necessary to pursue careers in the arts and design.
