Bachelor of visual art (B.V.A.)
The Department of Visual Art (B.V.A.) at JLNGC of Fine Arts offers three major specialised
courses: Painting, Applied Art, and Sculpture. Each course is a comprehensive 4-year specialised
degree in visual arts.
During the first year, students undergo two semesters of foundation courses. These foundational
courses are designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the basics of all three
specialised subjects. This approach ensures that students gain essential skills and knowledge
across different areas of visual arts, including fundamental techniques, theories, and practical
applications.
By exploring the basics of Painting, Applied Art, and Sculpture, students can better understand
their personal interests and aptitudes. This foundational year is crucial as it allows students to
make informed decisions about their specialisation. Starting from the third semester, students will
have the opportunity to choose one of the three specialised subjects to focus on for the
remainder of their degree. This structured progression not only helps students build a strong
foundation in visual arts but also guides them in selecting the path that best aligns with their
creative passions and career aspirations.
Throughout the program, students will receive instruction and support from the faculty, ensuring
they develop the technical skills, conceptual understanding, and creative confidence needed to
excel in their chosen field of visual arts.
The curriculum across these specialisations integrates foundational art education with advanced
studio practices, encouraging students to experiment and innovate. Additionally, the program
includes art history, Aesthetics (Philosophy of art), and professional development courses to
ensure graduates are well-rounded and prepared for the dynamic field of visual arts.
