Areas of the College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts at the University of Tsukuba takes advantage of its ability to provide specialized education in a wide variety of arts in 1 areas to a small number of students (100 students per year) to develop art experts with a wide range of insight and rich creativity. I am.To date, we have produced many outstanding graduates who take on leadership roles in the art and design fields, including artists, designers, and researchers.
Art history
In the ``Art History Area,'' students study art from various eras and Areas of studys, from ancient times to the present day, and consider a wide variety of issues, including the fundamental question, ``What is art?''
Main course
Going on to graduate school, becoming a curator, etc.
Art environment support
Through subjects such as the development of tools to support artistic expression and appreciation, support and care for artistic activities, art and wellness, art writing, museum education, and seminars in art support studies, we aim to restore humanity through art and pursue the social role of art. With this goal, you can learn the theory and practice to play a leading role in planning, managing, and disseminating arts support activities in society.
Main course
Art museums, cultural organizations, graduate school art degree programs (later become art museums, cultural organizations, etc., university teachers, etc.), school teachers, civil servants, financial institutions, general companies, etc.

Main course
- Art teachers (middle and high schools) and university teachers who utilize their specialized fields
- Artist activities as a painter and illustrator
- civil servants etc.
Japanese painting
Most of the students handle Japanese painting materials for the first time at university, so learning about traditional materials and techniques through practical training is a big attraction.While deepening your understanding of the classics and acquiring basic knowledge, you will aim to develop a high level of creative self-expression.
Main course
Many students go on to graduate school, work as art teachers, become civil servants, work at companies such as anime and game production companies, and as designers.
Drawing is about conveying an image in form, so the ability to do it with one's own hands seems to be in high demand in society.
Sculpture
In the sculpture field, students mainly learn about three-dimensional sculptural expression using plastic materials such as clay, as well as materials such as wood, stone, and metal.
Main course
After graduation, many students go on to work as teachers, sculptors, modeling artists, and general companies (car modelers, etc.), and many students go on to graduate school.
book
I am working on creating calligraphy works and researching the history of calligraphy in Japan and China.
Although calligraphy has a traditional image, it is still a field of constant change and discovery.By learning a good balance of practical skills and theory, you will be able to discover and challenge new styles and problems.
Main course
High school art (calligraphy) and Japanese language teachers, junior high school Japanese language teachers, civil servants at prefectural and city halls, writers, etc.
(For those going on to graduate school, university teachers, museum/art gallery curators, etc.)
Students will learn various techniques related to printmaking, which can be said to be the origin of today's media, and explore the possibilities of ``print expression'' through expression methods that suit them.
Main course
We have seniors who go on to graduate school, are teachers (junior high school, high school, university, etc.), printmakers, web designers, illustrators, manga artists, office workers, and are active in various fields.
Constitution
The composition field specializes in researching what kinds of expressive effects can be created by various combinations of the basic elements of modeling, such as color, shape, texture, and movement. I think it's so abstract that it's hard to imagine, but for example, in music, rather than aiming to become a professional at a particular instrument, you might try making a new instrument, or I think it would be good for people to think of it as a place that encourages experimental and challenging things, such as trying to play instruments in a different way than usual, or combining them with instruments that are not normally played together. .This is a rare research area in the field of visual expression, as it allows us to explore the possibilities of expression without considering any specific usage scenarios for our research results.
Main course
There are a variety of people, including graphic designers, display designers, web designers, jewelry designers, video artists, art artists, university teachers, and middle and high school art teachers.
Comprehensive modeling
The Department of General Art and Design places its perspective on the modern era, and aims to develop an eye that can respond to the times through art, which is said to be a "mirror of society," and focuses on art from the 20th century, focusing on its theory and actual production. Through this, we learn about the relationship between art and society.
Comprehensive modeling consists of three parts: plastic expression, media art, and installation.You will learn how to view it as a type of device in the environment and how it should be deployed.
We aim to develop new types of artists as well as working adults who have a broad perspective and experience based on contemporary plastic arts, and are well-educated in the arts.
