Learning objectives

The objectives of the two-year course II level in Painting envisage the training of professionals who can work in the fields of painting and related disciplines.

The further training of specialized operators is articulated in a path that includes knowledge of the diverse techniques of visual representation, also in the light of a more recent iconography. Teaching activities include, in addition to traditional painting techniques, the experimentation of new techniques and alternative and propositional contemporary languages; it is also planned to acquire skills related to new techniques of digital modelling.

The training offer includes disciplines designed to enhance the various expressions of contemporary art, aims to increase your skills and enhance the application possibilities related to the management of exhibition spaces. In fact, knowledge and skills related to the artist’s ability to set up exhibitions, events and artistic events in general appear naturally correlated to the artist’s figure, so the proposed didactic also aims to enhance skills that allow the optimization of those cultural and creative processes that are already a privileged objective of the artist and, moreover, to enhance the ability to market the created works.

The course includes classes that are a natural evolution of the teaching implemented in the corresponding and preparatory three-year course.

The educational activities in the strict sense will include, in addition to workshops and theoretical lectures, seminars, exercises, training placements at artists, art galleries, museums, institutions or research institutes.

Graduates of the School’s diploma courses must have:

  • Advanced knowledge and historical, technical and artistic skills in the field of Painting and the visual arts, which allow the acquisition of a qualified professionalism in independent expressive research, which is linked both to traditional techniques and to the elaboration of the experimentation of new expressive languages;
  • In-depth skills in the field of communication and expressive research, skills that allow the experimentation and elaboration of new languages of art;
  • Interpretive and expressive abilities of complex phenomena linked to the world of art, its contexts, its diffusion, the interpretation of reality and the contemporary image;
  • Advanced knowledge of the theory and history of art, obtained through a didactic course aimed at the in-depth analysis of the theories, materials and technological apparatus of art, but also of the museum sector, to which the didactic intends to pay appropriate attention;
  • Adequate knowledge and skills to enable the use of a language of the European Community and to make the trained figures competitive at European level.
