Painting

Hi everyone, I'm Associate Professor Dalila Ozbay. I am the Head of the Department of Painting at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Faculty of Fine Arts Design and Architecture. I am from Romania, I studied at Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts and I am currently carrying out my work in this department. The painting department was established in 2012 and became active in 2014. The aim of our Painting Department is to train contemporary artists, to develop creativity and to train the right educators in the field of painting and art. Basic art education, pattern design and workshops are offered as the basic courses of the painting department. Our workshops include a pattern design workshop, an oil painting workshop, an engraving workshop and a fresco workshop. We do not have internships in our department, but every student has to prepare a graduation project in the form of an exhibition when graduating. With the paintings they have made in the last four years, they introduce themselves and present their art vision to the teachers. Our students can go abroad thanks to the Erasmus program. In the past years, our students have gone to Italy and Bulgaria. Every year we hold exhibitions as a department, sometimes these exhibitions are national and sometimes international. All students can participate in these exhibitions. Of course, students who graduate from the department of painting become painters and artists, but by taking pedagogical formation, students can also teach or work in design in various companies, factories, in the textile industry or work as journalists. They can also get jobs in the advertising industry. Dear students, dear candidates, while choosing Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, know that you will benefit from the campus and you will benefit from all the facilities and you will be provided with a great education thanks to the workshops. Tekirdag is a beautiful city, having the sea close by is a nice opportunity for you, and also it is city with a young population. We will be happy to have you with us, and I wish you all the best.
