- Painting and Mixed Media:

Students in the field of photography and mixed media learn the basic principles, techniques, and concepts of drawing and painting while developing their talents, as well as how to formulate their ideas, dreams, ambitions, and passion in authentic artistic images. The program enables in-depth practice of the art of drawing and painting on various surfaces of paper, canvas, and walls, as well as many other surfaces. Students gain experience in multiple imaging techniques such as oil color technology as the central technique of the art of painting, acrylic, pastel, inks, watercolors, multimedia, and others. In parallel, students study the ideas, styles, and art schools that make up the history of the art of photography. The courses include abstract and representative insights into the physical medium of the methods and techniques of drawing and coloring and how to use them to create photographic works in diverse conceptual contexts. Students experience the use of a variety of materials and methods as part of their study journey by working in the context of the visual environment surrounding them for the interior (studio) and the exterior (landscape scenes with their natural and human details of land, city, and village). This helps form a rich and diverse visual memory with its signs and elements, which represent – in its spatial, temporal, and cultural dimensions – an important role in the formation of the alphabet of visual thinking of the artist and their excellence in a special artistic style and vision.
