Program description

The goal of the Art Graduate Program is to teach students as artists capable of using various genres of art by integrating contemporary art proposals with an interdisciplinary perspective without abandoning tradition. The program's teaching seeks to help students enhance their artistic production techniques while also enhancing their grasp and interpretation of art ideas and concepts.

To achieve this goal, it creates an environment in which students can comprehend theoretical and practical difficulties from other fields and create concepts and works by interpreting them with their own distinctive ways. It teaches how to employ the triad of analysis, synthesis, and interpretation in the artistic production process.
