Resources


The utilization of visual arts resources, including art studios, libraries, audiovisual media, and social ecology, plays a crucial role in enriching learners' artistic experimentation. These resources provide diverse avenues for exploration, enabling students to deepen their understanding and refine their creative processes.

  1. Art Studios: Art studios are foundational spaces where artists can practice, experiment, and push the boundaries of their craft. These dedicated environments foster creativity by providing artists the tools, materials, and freedom to explore various mediums through painting, sculpture, or digital art. Art studios serve as hermitages for personal expression, allowing learners to refine techniques and develop unique artistic voices. The communal atmosphere of a studio also promotes collaboration and constructive feedback, enhancing the learning experience.  ART & DESIGN SCHOOL ​
  2. Libraries: Libraries are essential resources for the academic side of visual arts. They offer access to many books, journals, and archives on art history, theory, and contemporary practices. Students can use libraries to research different movements, gain insights into influential artists, and understand the broader cultural context of their work. The availability of visual and written resources helps learners gain critical perspectives, which they can incorporate into their artistic experimentation. JU PUBLIC LIBRARY​
  3. Audiovisual Media: Audiovisual media, including films, documentaries, and online platforms, offer students a dynamic way to engage with visual art. These resources present new trends, innovative techniques, and diverse artistic expressions, helping learners gain inspiration and broaden their horizons. Through audiovisual media, students can witness the work of established artists, analyze different artistic approaches, and experiment with integrating new ideas into their own practice. Dr. Mohammed Baker M.

  4. Social Ecology: Social ecology, which considers the relationship between individuals, communities, and the environment, profoundly informs visual art. By exploring social issues and environmental themes, students can incorporate their understanding of the world into their artistic practices. This resource enables learners to reflect on their surroundings, cultural dynamics, and global challenges, fostering a more socially conscious and environmentally engaged approach to art. The University of Jordan - IPMD on YouTube ​


Together, these resources provide a comprehensive learning ecosystem that supports students' artistic growth and experimentation, helping them integrate technical skills, theoretical knowledge, and social awareness into their creative processes.
