The department of Painting started its activities in 2002 with an associate degree program. Later, bachelor and discontinuous bachelor programs were also added with the purpose of making a connection between painting and life and with other fields of study. As such, the associate degree program stopped working.

The following opportunities are provided in the Department of Painting at the Faculty of Art, which we believe is one of the most beautiful faculties of Art in Iran:

• You will graduate from the bachelor programs learning principles and basics of painting including principles of visual arts, basic concepts of drawing, figurative design, and inanimate nature.
• You will practice basic colorology using limited and broad palettes, organization of visual elements to create a well-founded painting composition, and creative presentation of personal spaces in painting.
