The Faculty of Fine Arts (the “FFA”) is a part of Brno University of Technology (“BUT”). Having an art faculty incorporated into a technical university is not very common even abroad and remains unique in the Czech Republic to this day. With this in mind, a field-based composition has also been created: the taught disciplines apply the latest technologies, aiming at the fusion of arts and technology. Within the offered fields of free art, applied art and current tendencies, the FFA covers the entire spectrum of contemporary fine arts, to which the Department of Art History and Theory also contributes with its courses. In the last decade, a significant generational change of teachers occurred at the FFA and the faculty now covers a diverse range of current approaches to contemporary art and design. Currently, the FFA has three accredited fields of study and a total of 16 studios. The field of design is represented by the Graphic Design Studios 1 and 2 and the Product Design Studio. The field of intermedia and digital creation is represented by the Environment Studio, Performance Studio, Video Studio, Intermedia Studio, Photography Studio, Multimedia Studio (the Game Media Studio since 2018), and the Body Design Studio. The field of art creation is represented by the Sculpture Studios 1 and 2, Painting Studios 1, 2 and 3, and the Drawing and Graphics Studio. Studio teaching is complemented by theoretical lectures on art history, aesthetics, philosophy, sociology, and a series of elective courses based on the needs of the studios. Tasks related to education and technology are supported by the Department Audiovisual Technology, the Department of Information Technology, the Department of Traditional Media (the Department of Evening Drawings until 2018), and the Department of 3D Technology which also includes the 3D Studio, established in 2007 as the first of its kind in the Czech Republic. Studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts takes place in three degree programs, a four-year bachelor’s degree program and a follow-up two-year master's degree program. Graduates receive the titles B.A. and M.A. In addition to these programs, the FFA also offers a four-year doctoral studies program in Fine Arts and Art Management.
