1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME 1.1. Aims and objectives of the study programme The aim of the Professional Higher Education Bachelor Study Programme "Art"
is training of internationally competitive specialists with versatile
knowledge in art and design. With a further professional training these
specialists could become proficient experts able to meet the current and
prospective demand for this type of specialists in various branches of
Latvia's economy (art, culture, research, production). The objectives set to achieve these aims are as follows: . to foster the perfection of students so that they should become free,
responsible and creative personalities; . to promote the acquisition of artistic knowledge, skills and abilities
so that the students should be competent in contemporary art, design
and computer design and should motivate themselves for further
education; . to offer possibilities for preparing to continue there professional
education in master study programme. . to introduce the students to the theoretical fundamentals of art and
information technologies; . to teach the practical implementation of composition tasks by
qualitatively analysing their separate stages; . to develop visual perception by observing objects and phenomena in
nature; . to reveal aesthetics values in works of visual art; . to develop visual memory, feeling for colors; to teach to depict the
form of an object in space graphic means; . to impart the necessary knowledge and skills of practical work by
working in a school and applying different software.
These objectives are to be realized by giving the students theoretical
knowledge in perspective, anatomy, theory of art, history of art as well as
practical skills in drawing, painting, composition and professional
practices (26 CP). By during practical tasks, in which the results of
systematic training and the obtained skills and abilities in portraying are
mirrored, the psychic cognitive processes and creative activities are
developed.
1.2. Necessity for the implementation of the Study Programme at Daugavpils
University One of the priorities of the European Union is to lend stability to
Latvia (including Latgale as well), which is impossible without the
presence of art. Therefore the task of Daugavpils University (DU) is to
strengthen the development of creative work in the Latgale region, which
can be affained by implementing the study programme and training highly
qualified specialists. Activities of the Department of Art and the Department of Information
Science, gradual development and contacts established with other frameworks
of DU, academic staff from similar programmes in Liepaja Academy of
Pedagogy, Art Academy of Latvia, International Higher Education Institution
of Applied Psychology, research institutions, enterprises foster the
development of effective strategies for the programme, research of the
economical demands, work on the development of new professional programmes. The study programme is structured so that the Graduates' qualification
should meet the contemporary and perspective needs of Latvia's education,
research, art and production. The Professional higher education bachelor study programme "Art" has been
designed and is being implemented in DU. Within this programme the
qualifications "Visual art teacher of secondary education" is obtainable: Latvia's higher education establishments - UL, LAP, DU - train visual art
teachers of secondary education, which enables to meet the demand of
Latvia's schools of general education for specialists. It is very topical
for DU to train highly qualified visual art teachers of secondary education
for the Latgale area. The qualification is integrated with the standartized part of the
professional bachelor of art programme (70 CP); consequently, all the
graduates get a professional bachelor's degree in art. In last few years a team of young, professional, highly qualified
academic staff has been organized. The team is involved in the development
of the study content and research quality of the study programme by
regularly evaluating the quality of the programme, and, in close
cooperation with the students, organizing different activities and
projects. The study programme is structured so that the qualification of graduates
should meet the current and perspective needs of Latvia's education,
research, understanding of art and production. The investigation of the labor market has lead to the constant correction
and development of the study programme, therefore: 1. Since October 31, 2000 the Department of Art has become a member of
NSEAD (National Society for Education in Art and Design) Nr 11623
(Great Britain). The aim of NSEAD: to promote the development of
professional skills in art, creative activities and design (see
appendix 2). 2. Since 2000 our study programmes have been involved in the activities
of ACEID (Asia - Pacific Center Of Educational Innovation for Development
[DU membership number- 41 - 0375]) and in the project of UNITWIN/UNESCO
"Reorienting Teacher Education to Address Sustainability". Together with 35
universities of the world the department begins its work on developing a
professional programme, carrying out joint research, creating the network
of electronic information and exchange of experience, implementing of new
technologies etc. 3. Academic staff of Department of Art has the membership in the public
organization "Art Teachers Union" and in "Association of Artists of
Daugavpils Region" These organizations have set forth the aim to unite
artists and artists -educators facilitating the
