Painting and Business Teaching

Hi, I am Furkan Yardım. I am a student of Inonu University Faculty of Education, Department of Arts and Crafts Teacher Education. Our department is located in Block C in the Faculty of Education on the main campus. It was founded to provide art education and to train art educators. There are Departments of Painting, Graphics, Printing and Sculpture in our department. In order to enter our department, it is necessary to score above the minimum threshold point in the university exam. Then, you have to take the aptitude test. Our aptitude test consists of two stages: pattern and image. In order to enter our department, candidates must take these exams and get a passing grade. The courses given in our department are divided into art education and education courses. Education courses provide pedagogical support towards becoming an art educator. Field courses help our artistic development. We can take elective art courses during the year in order to experience different workshops other than painting, graphics, printing and sculpture. Apart from the workshops, courses such as Art History, Contemporary Art, Turkish Western Art and so on are offered. Our department has a wide range of workshops and well-equipped facilities. These are pattern workshops, basic design workshops, perspective workshops, painting workshops, graphic workshops, printing workshops and sculpture workshops. In our workshops, we take classes in groups of 10 and 12. Our internship is carried out in groups of four in primary and secondary schools during the 4th grade. Our graduation projects consist of end of year exhibitions. After graduating from our department, there will be many job opportunities in the public and private sectors. In addition, students who graduate from the field of graphics and sculpture can do graphics and sculpting in the private sector. We also have a master's program who want to progress academically. I won the fine arts high school with the guidance of my teachers in middle school. I chose my department to improve myself in my field and to pursue an academic career. As I learned from my research, I chose Inonu University because of the good education and the fact that the training staff consists of experts. I want to pursue master's and doctorate programs after graduation. Academic career and being an art educator are among my goals. I recommend that candidates who prefer our university and department to develop their drawing and creativity. I wish success to the candidates who will take the exam. It’s a privilege to be a part of İnönü University. We'd love to see you here with us.
