Practising the arts and art theory are always closely linked. In the Academy, practice and thinking about art go hand in hand. Art history, art philosophy and research methodology offer you, along with more specific theory courses, the tools to evolve into a full-fledged artist or designer. Here you can listen to several podcasts of lectures in art philosophy with lecturer Thomas Crombez.
