Course General Description

The Faculty of Graphic Art was established together with the foundation of the Academy. With its rich traditions and history, the Direction is a multi functional structural unit. In fine arts, technical and formal criteria are not sufficient for delineating the genre limits of graphic art. Given the ever-changing character and growing diversification of contemporary artistic output, any attempt to classify art would be unsuccessful. The teaching methodology entails the use oftraditionalapproaches as well as cutting-edge technologies in the field. The department serves to train professional graphic artists according to selected priority fields.
