Painting-Job Teaching Program

Hello, my name is Sümeyra Ünlüce. I am a 4th year student at Anadolu University, the Department of Fine Arts Education, Program in Arts and Crafts Education. My department is located in the Faculty of Education at Yunus Emre Campus. The aim of our department is to train qualified visual arts teachers who are competent in their fields. The courses given in our department are divided into two parts as main art and sub-art courses. Our 1st main art lesson is Graphic Design and our 2nd main art lesson is Painting. These are optionally preferred. Our sub-art courses include Sculpture, Original Print and Photography. We also take educational science courses in the pedagogical sense. In addition to all these, we can also take elective courses from other fields. In our department, we have a graphic design workshop, a print workshop, a sculpture workshop and a photography studio. In each of our workshops, there are specific materials and equipments that are required and needed for each different field. When we come to the 4th grade, we take 1st and 2nd semester internship courses. The first semester is includes observation courses. In the second semester, we play an active role and start our presentation classes. After graduating from the department, we start the KPSS (Public Personnel Selection Examination) study process. Apart from that, we also have the opportunity to work in business areas in the private sector. In addition to this, we can continue our studies on our main art branch in the private sector. For example, we can apply for a job as a graphic designer. The reason why I chose my department is based on my hobbies. Before enrolling in this program, I was already drawing and I wanted to practice it as a profession. That's why I chose to be a painting teacher. The reason why I chose Anadolu University is that it is located in Eskişehir, and both Eskişehir and Anadolu University provide students with many opportunities in their own fields. The university is also open for social and cultural interaction, including the Museum of Contemporary Arts, movie theaters and theaters. After graduation, I want to work as an art teacher. I also want to pursue a master's degree at Anadolu University. Students who will choose this department have to focus especially on the talent exams. Because, as it is known, Anadolu University’s Department of Fine Arts Education accepts students with a special talent exam. I wish the best of luck to those who will take the exam. We welcome you to our campus.
