Department of Art
The Art Department was established in 1989. The aim of the Art Department is to make clear human existence through art phenomena by theoretical reflection and practice. This approach to thinking and making works of art is necessary for university students in technological circumstances.

As modern technology like the internet advances,human beings live more conveniently and happily. At the same time the need to reflect on human activity through works of art assumes greater importance. The department's goal is to cultivate the students' artistic sensitivity and intellectual abilities by providing them with opportunities to gain insights into the importance of human qualities revealed not only in individual works of art but also in the wider perspectives of art,as exemplified in systematic and integrated art phenomena.
