1 THE COLLEGE OF ARTS The College of the Arts is an interdisciplinary learning environment that promotes creativity and scholarship. Founded in 1998, the three schools of music, fine arts, and performing arts offer undergraduate and graduate programs that bring together a wide range of creative disciplines.

The College of Arts strives to nurture the development of creative and independent students who value being engaged and collaborative during their creative process. In addition to generating relevant, challenging ideas and building a strong knowledge base to hone their research skills, today s students should also possess the ability to collaborate and work effectively as members of a team. We support and guide our students towards achievement and success in all of these areas. We provide students with opportunities to engage in various experiences, such as teaching and participating in special events and projects. The College of Arts provides excellent facilities such as the Concert Hall, Art Gallery, Grand Theater, Black Box Theater, dance studios, and a film studio fully equipped with up-to-date technology; these facilities foster an environment where students on campus are able to elevate their performance. Students also have opportunities to develop their international prospects through exchange programs organized with partner institutions overseas. These programs provide our students with experiences guaranteed to expand and elaborate their own ideas and perspectives, and help each of them grow as international artists.

This biennial Arts Festival aims to promote the students voluntary participation in interdisciplinary creative opportunities. Renowned professional artists are invited to guide and collaborate with separate groups of undergraduate students. While selecting a theme, each group produces its own output under the direction of invited artists or faculty members. This collaboration allows each participant to explore his/her own creativity while forming a sense of community with the other participants. The Painting Department intends to maintain international links where appropriate. The Department has developed exchange programs with partner institutions such as The University of Huddersfield, Sheffield Hallam University, Coventry University in the U.K, The Nova Scotia College of Arts and Design in Canada and Nanjing Arts University in China.

This department also integrates studio learning with critical inquiry in order to train the students to become professional sculptors or experts in their chosen fields of specialization. To cultivate the creative and experimental practices of the contemporary art scene, sculpture students experiment with the making and transformation of threedimensional objects. These range from traditional configurations to new media creations such as mixed media sculpture, installation, and computer software sculpture.

It aims to train and guide seniors to arrange the spaces in which their studios are placed, some exhibits are shown outside of the building. The preparation for the exhibition helps students improve their abilities in utilizing their surrounding space into suitable settings where their works of art are showcased.
