Visual Arts - Bachelor of Arts
The program intends to adopt an "all encompassing approach" by associating the more traditional know-how with the most advanced technology, everyday folklore with the electronic image, and free expression in the project methodology. The program provides training in a wide range of artistic techniques, allowing for individual experimentation and the reconsideration of a traditional academic approach. Students are encouraged to investigate the relationship between art and design. The program retains the central role of painting and proposes numerous technical and disciplinary approaches that extend to sculpture, video-art, photography and cinema. Special emphasis is set on the social dimension of the visual arts
UNDERGRADUATE COURSES SUBJECTS
Within the area of Undergraduate courses the different subjects are divided into foundation subjects (B), specific subjects (C) and related subjects (A), according to the Ministry's guidelines. A further classification has been introduced by NABA and it comprises a segmentation of subjects according to the school they refer to. The specific subjects of each School (CS) offer the theoretical-methodological basis of the educational program, while the Interschool subjects, divided into Interschool methodological subjects (CPI) and Interschool theoretical subjects (CTI), represent an area that allows to provide students with a common and interdisciplinary base. The subjects of "Project Methodology" and "Techniques, Material and Tools" are articulated in modules through which students can acquire a wide range of competencies.

ARTISTIC ANATOMY
It deals with the anatomic study of the body and with the body's main representing models in Art: the body between scientific representation and artistic expression, gestures and expressions, the body in space and in movement. The program also introduces students to the artistic movements of the 20th century, where the body as a subject worked as a model, an inspiring motif or even a support as well as an expressive medium in Photography, Cinema and Video. Students will develop an individual artistic project dealing with the topics learnt and based on an essential bibliography, experimenting the drawing from a living model.
PAINTING TECHNIQUES
The program goes into the history and the practice of painting and sculptural techniques as well as the supports used by artists along the centuries (graphic techniques, pigments, oil painting, watercolour painting, acrylic and vinilic colours, wooden supports, canvas, papers and glues) offering students a basis for the development of a personal artistic research. The goal of the course is the acquisition of a rich and complete technical-artistic support so that students can develop their own creative research in a conscious and effective way.
PRINT-MAKING
Objective of the course is the creation of a lab for "multiple works". The course analyses and elaborates all implications deriving from the action of a repeated gesture. Applications can go from posters to magazines, record covers, garments, serigraphy, photo editions, prints and engravings, up to three dimensional products. The intention is to operate with the awareness of using a planned repetetiveness that affects the ideation and the construction of one's own work (having the goal of being reproduced and diffused in more copies).
PUBLIC ART
Since the mid 80s the evident objective of Public Art has been to intervene in some infrastructures so that the historical function of a square or of a monument could be refound with a completely new approach, thus defining a spacial whole as a social whole. Students will deal with survey and intervention projects in which they will have to conjugate in a critical way Architecture and Urban Design, Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture, Visual Communication and Plastic Arts in general.
SCULPTURE
The course introduces students to some key themes of the contemporary artistic research, starting from the idea of Sculpture meant as a three-dimensional object that takes up a room. From the classic object made with traditional materials and languages to the assembly of more elements coming from different interdisciplinary fields up to the use of different languages. Research starts from a physical element and, through the development of an idea, it gets to the management of space. Going through the concept of exploration between men and surrounding universe, the course intends to trace the reading of codes, ways and places that define the contemporary artistic environment.
VIDEOART I AND II
The course focuses on the relationships between the avant-gardes of art and cinema and goes into those experiences defined as experimental movies, videoart, microcinema and non-fiction. The program is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part is composed of historiographic/analitical lectures dealing with the description of avant-gardes, the evolution of technologies (film, electronic, digital) and the analysis of authors' different writing types, styles and methods through presentations, film-projections and discussions. The second part/year comprises a digital lab to experiment and know media techniques and processes: audiovisual and artistic videos.
VISUAL ARTS
Visual Arts: this course deals with a project theme that changes every year and that allows students to develop an individual approach and a personal project culture. Through a survey of the external context, the analysis of various artists' works and the constant interaction with the professor, students are encouraged to experiment and to express a personal imaginary through the use of Painting, Sculpture, Installation, Video and Performance. Painting: the objective is to highlight, through the different aspects of the painting language, each student's growth potentiality, combining manuality and consciousness, knowledge of technical tools and of issues concerning shape, colour, composition and space, meant as an infinite territory of possibilities and not as fixed categories.
