Key Summary
Visual arts are the most ancient creative activities. The skills and talents of the artist are still in need today. RUFA teaches young people how to express themselves. They start from tradition while mastering contemporary techniques: painting, video, performance art, installations, and electronic art. The modern visual artist must be aware of history as well as of the times in which we live. RUFA helps its students to combine art, future, and professionalism into a single project. The job opportunities for students that have attended their BA in Painting are in the fields of visual art, graphic art, and painting as a pure artistic form of expression. Thanks to their studies in specific areas (contemporary art history, photography, and audiovisual, pictorial, graphic, and figurative techniques and technologies) RUFA graduates can work as curators of exhibition spaces, art directors for cultural events, graphic designers, and art publishers. Any one of these art sectors can select them thanks to their high-level training in visual arts, aesthetics, phenomenology of contemporary art, and organization of art spaces and concepts.
The Academic Bachelor of Arts is equivalent to a University Bachelor’s Degree
*All lessons include mandatory attendance at RUFA’s locations in Rome.
