Based on the Role of Rehabilitation, Employment & Follow-Up Department at Al-Mustaqbal University that mainly aims to preparing Students for Labor Market and promoting their skills, a Training Workshop has been organized at the College of Fine Arts under the title
"Visual Arts between Creativity & Professionalism"
We are obliged to note that the Workshop has been conducted by the Artist Mohamed Fahmy, where he has focused on the importance of Visual Arts not only as an Artistic Expression Tool, , but also as a Vital Sector, which provides Students with a large extent of Professional Opportunities in the Fields of Design, Decoration, Sculpture, Calligraphy and Ornamentation. Art is no longer just a Hobby, but rather it has become an Integrated Industry that requires Technical Skills, Market Awareness, in addition to having the ability for permanent innovation and development. Besides, the Lecturer has emphasized the need to building an Artist Career Path, which requires continuous exposure to the Latest Global Trends as well as on-going training needed for honing skills, keeping in mind the necessity to Documenting Artwork, as being part of the Artist's Professional Identity.
It is remarkable to note as well that the challenges facing Visual Arts in Iraq have also been discussed, as well as the essential role of Art Galleries at the reveal of Young Talents and linking them to Labor Market, since Iraq is deemed as one of the Leading Countries at Selling & Marketing Visual Arts due to its Rich Cultural Heritage.
This Initiative after all does reflect the trend of implementing SDG 4, which focuses on Quality Education that aims to Enhancing Practical & Professional Skills of Students and preparing them for Sustainable Economic Opportunities in the Field of Arts and Creative Industries.
Finally, it is worth noting that Youth Empowerment artistically and professionally is an essential step towards building an Economy based on Creativity & Knowledge, and that is what Al-Mustaqbal University seeks to achieve through its Advanced Training Programs.
