The Visual Arts degree program aims to develop artists with intellectual depth, a critical spirit, a creative mindset, a strong ethical commitment, and a sense of social responsibility. Its educational approach centers primarily on training professionals engaged in research, critical evaluation, and artistic production. The program offers students the opportunity to engage with the complex dimensions of audiovisual discourse through both theory and artistic practice. Its scope of action includes fostering artistic production in support of the positive transformation of the region's artistic and cultural landscape.
Graduates of the Visual Arts program will be equipped to participate as active and creative contributors to what is understood as the "contemporary" in art. They will be aware of art's capacity to convey the pulse of social change: to perceive who we are and to construct meaning in dialogue with the present and from the position we occupy within the cultural landscape. Graduates will possess artistic, critical, management, and self-management skills that enable them to develop innovative proposals in the field of visual arts. They will also be able to create, develop, and design projects of an artistic, environmental, community-based, educational, and commercial nature. In addition, they will apply creative processes and continuous improvement methods demanded by professional practice in these fields.
The School of Visual Arts has a faculty composed of visual artists and academics with active creative and theoretical projects. Faculty members hold PhD and Master's degrees, alongside visual artists with distinguished careers and recognized national and international standing. It is essential for the School to have experienced artists and researchers who are familiar with the local artistic scene and/or have earned recognition for their pedagogical work. This ensures a high-quality educational experience grounded in the principle of making a direct impact on the development of a local artistic scene.
