The IED Diploma in Fine Arts turns the student into an artist 3.0 and 360º, with training based on developing projects in diverse areas of plastic and visual arts.

The hybridization between disciplines has been introduced in a training program that covers, from an academic perspective, but one which is connected to the context of today's professional world, formats, media, and what is to come.

And all of this in a creative and stimulating space that is connected to the most cutting-edge art and design. A program for experimenting with technology and every material. Students will work with techniques and concepts that cover 3D sculpture, video creation, installation design, expanded painting, body and space, and contemporary drawing.

With its mixed format, this degree will allow all students to learn, participate and be part of the IED community in person, in physical and virtual classrooms, and remotely.

If you’re interested in plastic arts and above all want to approach drawing, painting and sculpture from a professional or business perspective, this is the course for you.

High school graduates, students who’ve finished equivalent studies or want to further their studies, learn to interweave the visual arts with technology and learn about body and space will also be interested in the course.

The IED Diploma in Fine Arts helps students to find a professional outlet for their artistic skills, so it’s ideal for people who want to take their art one step further and make a living out of their creative talent.
