The bases of visual arts and its practice is to have a fine balance between the two and to give students in their initial years of training a thorough grounding in the principles of art and designs with hands on experience. The students should be taught a visual language to communicate their ideas, focussing on the development of new ways of viewing and representing the world. This idea-based approach is combined with practical tuition in a range of media techniques. They should be able to initially explore the basics through drawing, identifying an approach area of study for the future. The students should be encouraged to experiment with less conventional approaches. They can participate in selecting the content and direction of each project and they should be supported through lessons, practical workshops/demonstrations, and regular one-to-one tutorials, catering to an each individual.
The undergraduate teaching in visual arts with a special reference to the University of Sharjah and the region of Middle East it self should be tailor-made and sympathetic towards the needs of the people of the region.
It is of an utmost importance to give students a sense of pride in their rich artistic and cultural history and background, so that; they take pride in what they do in continuation of their cultural heritage. It is also pertinent to make a relevance of modern day visual arts studies with their cultural background.
For an art educator, teaching the undergraduates, it is essential, that, he or she guides students through the degree and make them understand the need and importance of visual art and design education in the modern day Middle East/world.
