In the field of applied arts, Visual Arts Education is the one which emancipates the ability to create and design most.

• In our department, skilled and inclined students are orientated towards this field in accordance with their individual abilities from the 7^th grade. And from the 1^st grade, our students periodically hold individual or collective exhibitions, which are a great source of inspiration and motivation for them. Interested and inclined students are also orientated towards project studies in the field of visual arts.
• The most prominent characteristic of the exhibitions held at our school is creativity that is the philosophy of the department and the fact that every kind of material which contribute to this creativity can be an object of art.

As the Department of Visual Arts, our objectives are as follows:

• to acquire our students a creative way of thinking,
• to acquire our students aesthetic sensitivity and inform them about visual values, 
• to raise interrogating, critical, thinking and grasping individuals who have respect for art and who are equipped with the virtues of collaboration, solidarity and responsibility that we aim to have our students acquire through atelier works.
