Welcome to the Department of Arts​

The Department of Arts includes academic activity in four areas: art history, music, creative arts and curation.

The curriculum in the Department of Arts focuses on cultural studies, visual language, the connection between music and the soul, theory and criticism of Western visual art from ancient times to the present day, as well as intercultural and interdisciplinary contexts. In general, the history of Israeli art and Jewish art in all its shades are also studied.

As part of the creative arts curriculum, we offer workshops in painting, drawing and photography. The uniqueness of the program is expressed in the encouragement of the students to be exposed to theoretical studies and creative workshops at the same time, and in the studies of the compulsory course on curation. We encourage an integrative approach that combines theory with practice and is, in our opinion, an essential infrastructure for both researcher and creator. During the studies there are tours in Israel and abroad, meetings with artists, curators and active researchers. 

Every year the students take an active part in setting up exhibitions and writing a catalog.​​​​
