The BA in Painting at Keimyung University is an undergraduate program designed to develop strong artistic skills, creative expression, and a deep understanding of visual art practices. Typically completed in 4 years (8 semesters), the program combines studio-based learning with theoretical studies, allowing students to explore both traditional and contemporary painting techniques.
The curriculum focuses on areas such as drawing, color theory, composition, painting techniques (oil, acrylic, watercolor), and art history, helping students build a solid artistic foundation. Students are encouraged to experiment with different styles and mediums while developing their own unique artistic identity.
Through studio practice, workshops, exhibitions, and critique sessions, students gain hands-on experience and refine their technical and conceptual skills. The program also emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and engagement with contemporary art trends.
The medium of instruction is typically Korean (with some courses in English), and admission generally requires completion of high school along with a portfolio of artwork and proof of language proficiency.
Graduates are well-prepared for careers as professional painters, visual artists, illustrators, art educators, and gallery professionals, or for further studies in fine arts and related disciplines.
