Graduate School
The Graduate School of Art & Design is structured in two fields:
Art Expression & Creation and Art Expression & Conception. Students can study their field of specialty from either approach while striving to become researchers and educators in the fields of art and design, artists, and designers. The Graduate School assists motivated students who want to develop new worlds of expression.
Art Expression & Creation
Regarding expressive results as artworks, students work to further improve their skills and techniques and carry out research. They think about what artistic expression means in contemporary society and pursue their own themes and methods as expressive mediums. They strive to explore their own artistic visions and potential and establish personal themes while thinking about connections with society.
Art Expression & Conception
Students research, experiment with, and create in various expressive methods and mediums, while considering and researching issues without being limited to traditional art and design frameworks. Rather than producing tangible “things,” they come up with concepts, make plans, and carry them out, resulting in expression. In other words, they study the creative process itself and perform research while focusing on the importance of concepts. The overall research method combines investigation, collection, planning, study, and production (including a thesis).
