The Department of Art Mediation offers two levels of education.

In addition to subjects such as History of Art, Art Criticism, Analysis of Contemporary Art and Promotion of Visual Culture, they deepen their artistic experience with practical classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, graphic design, photography and audiovisual art. An extremely important element of education is cooperation with eminent personalities of the world of art, critics, galleries and cultural institutions - thanks to which the student penetrates into the living tissue of art and acquires the ability to mediate in its social reception.
