Year Course Visual Arts coincides with the traditional Year Course programme, offering Jerusalem, Community Impact in Bat Yam, and Negev Israeli Experience. Each component features extended opportunities for volunteering, learning, and cultural enrichment related to your track.
YC visual arts offer an enriching educational programme to help develop the artist within you during your year in Israel. Take classes to enhance your technical knowledge in drawing painting and photography. Meet young and up and coming Israeli artists such as Ayelet Carmi, Adi Nes and Ilana Goor. Visit museums, art galleries and art schools that have become the greenhouse of the new artist’s generation in Israel. Discover the charm of Digital Art as you explore other new fields in visual arts. Help bring people closer to the experience of arts, through volunteer work with the community.
Prior experience with visual Arts is needed in order to be a participant in this programme: Art high school graduates or students with rich history of taking classes of painting, drawing, photography or sculpting will be appropriate for this programme. If you are a student who is willing to work hard and wants to challenge yourself while developing artistic skills – this is the programme for you!
