Overview

The Oriental Painting department from Seoul National University has long been succeeded by traditional plastic art theories and styles of Korean portrait and landscape art (San-su hwa).

Learning outcomes

In the graduate programs, both MFA and DFA, students have time to improve their understandings of traditional painting forms and plastic art theory, and experiment with their own individual, unique expressions by applying contemporary painting’s various expression methods and media.

The graduate school reinforces several theoretical courses, such as Planning Exhibition Theory, Identifying Art, and Criticizing Works, so that graduate students have plentiful opportunities to foster their artistic discernment, logical analytic ability, and to study educational methodology alongside experts within various art scenes.
