Kurikulum 2024 Visual Art (170)

This elective course is designed for students interested in honing their theoretical and practical skills in artistic anatomical visualization and applying them to medical anatomy. The course is structured into three stages: initial exploration of documentary image visualization, studying anatomy for educational purposes, and engaging in interactive, collaborative research on anatomical studies through studio practice. Students will gain essential insights into the structure, technique, and visual framework of anatomical studies for artistic purposes and its intersection with science and technology. This specialized program also delves into anatomy through literature studies and mono-disciplinary and interdisciplinary anatomical drawing practices. Upon completion of the course, students are expected to comprehend critical concepts and collaboration techniques and demonstrate expertise in artistically visualizing anatomical areas of the body. The elective course package includes documentary drawing (2 credits), educational anatomy drawing (2 credits), collaborative research on medical anatomy drawing (3 credits), and contemporary drawing (3 SKS).

This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of fundamental concepts and their applications from an inter-disciplinal perspective, drawing primarily from the fields of art history, art theory and aesthetics, arts management and curatorial studies. This course locates the study of art and material culture in a range of visual, historical, social, cultural, political, and theoretical contexts. Students will learn the latest methods for the critical analysis of art, identify the latest ideas in art and how they intersect with the public sphere, interpret and elucidate phenomenon as they explore the art world, and the practice of curating. Career options are just as varied as the many fields connecting art and society. Graduates may work as writers, art manager, curators, researchers, educators or critics. The elective course package includes Introduction to Art Theory (5 credits), Art Market (2 credits), Introduction to Anthropology of Art (2 credits), Art, Psyche, and Creativity (2 credits), and Art Management and Exhibition (2 credits).

The specialization in ceramics allows students to work with clay and ceramics, one of the most ancient and universal materials and media in human civilization.  The specialization comprises courses exploring the relationship between material and media, their artistic potential, and relevant discourses.  Although the courses are interrelated, they can be taken independently. A knowledge of the technical, conceptual, and discourse in ceramics practice is essential for this specialization. Technical knowledge includes how to process and shape clay and ceramic materials. Conceptual knowledge is the comprehension of the potentiality of artistic and aesthetic materials and media. On the other hand, discourse knowledge refers to a range of issues and contexts related to ceramics practice, such as making, the duality of matter and mind, ephemerality, and the truth of the material. It also incorporates other disciplinary perspectives that are relevant to ceramics practices, particularly material culture, anthropology, popular culture, and phenomenology. All of this knowledge is an integral element of the creative art-making abilities that lead to producing works. These abilities are the foundation for conducting artistic research within an academic setting.

Course Package for Fine Arts students who want to master/expand skills in the field of painting. The deepening of painting is carried out through an approach based on the Symbolic painting tendency in the Symbolic Painting MK (3SKS) as a basis for conveying ideas in the form of symbols. The following approach is carried out with an expressive tendency in the Expressive Painting Arts Course (3SKS) which emphasizes emotional and subjective expression. The next approach is carried out through the Abstract tendency in the Abstract Painting School (3SKS), which emphasizes the pure representation of visual forms. Deepening this skill also involves understanding the history, theory, and techniques used according to the approach and tendencies of painting. Visiting museums as an excursion activity, reading art books, and practicing painting techniques through studio work practices as well as individual and collective assistance, are the basis for deepening this field of expertise.

Elective courses for students who want to study Printmaking. Lectures are conducted through four stages: "Relief Print & Intaglio", "Lihography", "Screen Print", and "Hybrid Print". Students are taught about basic knowledge about tools and materials, technical skills, the development of thought and discourse in printmaking, as well as its intersection with science and technology. This specialization package also includes literature studies as well as printmaking practices. After taking this series of courses, students are expected to be able to master the 4 main techniques in printmaking, use these techniques in developing concepts and contexts for works, and convey ideas artistically through printmaking. The optional lecture package consists of "Relief Print & Intaglio" (3 credits), "Lihography" (3 credits), "Screen Print" (3 credits), and "Hybrid Print" (3 credits).

Course packages for students interested in mastering skills in form, space, movement, and material exploration provide comprehensive learning opportunities with broad boundaries. This lecture is carried out through three main stages: first, understanding of form, space, volume, and motion; second, monolith, installation, and spatial exploration; and third, the expansion of the concepts of dematerialization and rematerialization. Through this curriculum structure, students will explore the basic elements of three-dimensional art at an early stage, learning about the interaction between form and space and how volume and movement can bring a work of art to life. The second stage introduced them to material exploration through monoliths and installations that enriched their spatial understanding, allowing them to create works with high aesthetic value and a strong physical presence. In the final stage, students will explore the concepts of dematerialization and rematerialization, which teaches them to think critically about the use of materials and how they can be reinterpreted in their artwork. This lecture package consists of three main courses, namely: Form, Space, Volume, and Motion (3 credits), Monoliths, Installation and Spatial (3 credits), and Dematerialization and Rematerialization (3 credits)
