Fine Art

A graduate from FINE ART post-Bachelor (Master’s) programme of study will be ready to become an independently creating artistic personality who in their work reflects current artistic trends, as well as the patterns of development of the national scene in their country of origin, enriched by the experience gained in Czech environment. As well, they will be capable of an open intercultural dialogue and will be prepared to react to serious social issues by means of their work. Further to their previous education, the graduate will develop the skills acquired while studying at the bachelor’s degree (admission to the Master’s programme of study requires a certificate of recognition of their foreign diploma in the Czech Republic – so-called nostrification – or nostrification with an apostille), both in digital technologies and in intermedia overlaps, as well as in the field of classical media or e.g. graphic design for a wide range of multigenre creation, so that they are able to anticipate the constantly developing technologies of creation and innovative ways of final presentations. Particular attention will be paid to overlaps towards photography and intermedia creation (photographic installation, time-based media and digital art) as well as to development of technical skills related to these disciplines.

The conception of the study emphasizes the student’s readiness for programmed (conceptual) artistic activity relying not only on professional skills and knowledge of the whole wide range of artistic means and tools of related disciplines, but also on the essential need to base their work on previous theoretical study and critical analysis.

A graduate from FINE ART post-Bachelor (Master’s) programme will have skills and knowledge for a career of a freelance artist, a photographer, a specialist in creative disciplines (such as media, TV, film, advertising, creative industry, startups or nonprofit organizations) a specialist in both government and private institutions, an expert who will be able to create visual and/or intermedia communication on the level of common comprehensibility, and thus participate in developing current artistic trends and visual culture of today’s society. A graduate from FINE ART programme, being equipped with the solid principles of polemical-critical thinking, will be also prepared for a career of an educator in different systems and levels of professional art education, or a lecturer in the gallery or museum contexts, or in nonprofit organizations. Thanks to the superstandard practical training and strong theoretical anchorage, a graduate from the programme of study will be able to adapt their information and knowledge acquired during the study to authentic needs of cultural scenes they decide to act on. As well, a graduate will be prepared for further postgraduate studies in the same or similar programmes of study, among others, in the Visual Communication doctoral programme of study, conducted at FAD JEPU. So far, the study has been recognized without problems in all countries where graduates of the FAD JEPU foreign language programme are located.
