Japanese Painting
Producing paintings that stand the test of time, 100 years from now
Beautiful natural mineral pigments and expressions that capture reality… The unique painting expression known as “Nihonga” (Japanese Painting) has evolved and expanded in scope through the ages. However, in order to acquire this method of expression, and reveal the various schools of painting, inspiration, perseverance and layered education was necessary. Our Japanese Painting major comprises a carefully designed curriculum that not only covers the fundamentals and traditional expression, but also assists “Nihonga” students in their flight to the future.

Sculpture
Looking into nature, conversing with the raw materials and exploring our form
In modern times, as a world with limitless expression, the domain of sculpture has broadened to cover many areas including the explanation of meaning and methods of expression. In the Sculpture major, students study and explore the principle of form through nature observation, and experience the raw materials personally. Through this, the drawing out of possibilities becomes the starting point for sculpture expression and development. Looking into nature, talking with the raw materials, together let’s search for our own form that transcends generations.
