Special Graduate Courses and General Studies
Ever since the days of the Tokyo School of Art, there has been a tradition of Artistic Anatomy. This specialist course is unique to the University. Another of the specialist graduate courses is on the scientific study of form and color. Still a very new branch of research, the course is divided into a study of color theory and graphic science. The art education course aims to equip researchers with actual skills and expressive abilities, as well as providing them with an academic training. General studies which include lectures on history and physical education classes are also provided for both faculties of the University.
