Since its establishment, the School of Visual Arts has pursued an alternative methodology, through discussion and presentation, to cross over the limitations of national art education that often neglect both language and criticism. These presentation and discussion skills have been emphasized due to their importance in the Department of Architecture and Design. However, the school also adopted the criticism as a requirement for classes in the plastic arts department. Each department has systemized final presentations each semester, mid-term critiques, and evaluation of graduation work. Each department also invites experts from their respective fields for critique and evaluation in order to raise the objectivity and apply professional standards to students’ work. This approach is the product of professors who have experienced western art education, which strongly highlights both discussion and presentation skills. These skills are considered essential in the training of contemporary artists.
