Department of Visual Communication

Message from the Director of the Department
Graduation season is here. Usually at this time of year, the exhibition halls of art galleries and museums at Tsinghua University are packed with teachers, graduates and graduates' parents and friends, but the COVID-19 pandemic has made the 2020 version special. The pandemic has greatly affected our work, study, and life. What we should do is to record history and offer comfort to our souls through artworks. This graduation exhibition is a special exhibition. The online graduation exhibition creates both challenges and opportunities for our teachers and students. It provides us with a more open and diversity-embracing platform for creation and thinking.
The Department of Arts & Crafts pays attention to the combination of artistic practices, experiments of materials and conceptual expression, and encourages students to engage in diverse and in-depth art practices based on their major and personal interests. This year, the Department of Arts & Crafts has eight graduates receiving master's degrees, who completed 14 graduation projects, and 19 graduates receiving bachelor's degrees, who completed over 30 graduation projects. Professors and students worked together to overcome difficulties. This year, the graduates have chosen a wide range of themes for their graduation projects. Some of them focused on discovering the expressive power of materials themselves; some students emphasized the experimental and conceptual expression of artworks; some students experimented with interdisciplinary integration; some students reflected on their perception of life in this pandemic through artworks.
The significance of this online exhibition is far greater than previous graduation exhibitions. At this moment, words can't express my feelings. 2020 is destined to be an unforgettable year packed with actions. Good luck!
