In Year 1 students experiment with form and material, work on different projects, develop critical thinking, and learn to solve problems.

The educational process begins with work on short thematic projects aimed at developing fundamental artistic skills and mastering various techniques. Work in a variety of art workshops will provide practical knowledge of materials and their characteristics through experimentation with color and form. A weekly lecture program and individual consultations with instructors and guest artists help students formulate their own goals in the context of art practice. One of the most important skills to be developed in this year of study will be working with research and art criticism, and building the skill of creating an academic essay.
