Course Description
Diploma in Visual Arts course aims to provide background knowledge to specialize in the area of visual arts and work as skilled artists upon completion of the course. The proposed program will provide the students with a range of practical skills from drawing, painting, printmaking to design, photography and new media technologies that could contribute in major ways to the development of a cottage industry both locally and internationally.
Students will be able to form the relationship between works of art and their specific social- historical contexts and associate different artistic styles with specific geographies, eras, believes and historical events in the world.
