The School of Visual Arts organizes basic visual arts education in accordance with the curriculum approved by the Board of Education. The teaching is based on the law on basic art education, and it refers to art education that takes place outside of primary school, in which participation is voluntary. The teaching gives expressive skills to young people heading to different fields of visual arts, and increases the opportunities for children and young people to understand and enjoy visual art culture.
