VISUAL ARTS AND VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM (BAVACD)
Diploma Area Advisor:
Hüseyin Selçuk Artut, Elif Ayiter, Selim Birsel
We live in a world where the role of the
artist/designer is being redefined. Todays
artists and designers need to be equipped with
knowledge and vision which go far beyond
the traditionally required skills of
draughtsmanship. The individual's need to be
conversant with social, scientific and
technological evolution that surrounds him or her,
and the ability to incorporate this evolution
into the creative process, brings the issue of
a visual education that has a wider based
spectrum than before. The interdisciplinary
educational approach embraced by Sabancı
University aims to provide an ideal breeding
ground for the education of the "new"
artist and designer.
The program offers two adjacent tracks, namely
Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design. These
tracks are differentiated by providing separate
contents in Visual Arts Studio Courses and Visual
Communication Design Studio Courses..
