The Art Department on the Altea Campus is comprised of the areas of Painting, Design, Sculpture, History of Art, and Aesthetics, offering students training based on multidisciplinarity, hybridity, and fusion of different artistic and visual languages. Currently, there are four research groups in this department, and these examine artistic media far beyond traditional techniques: research into transdisciplinary relationships between art, culture, technology, and education; analysis and status of the functions of the image; and the study of relationships between generating categories from social identities with their tight pre-established relationships, as well as their view on visual culture.
