学院概况

广州美术学院前身是中南美术专科学校,是根据国家建设布局,于1953年组建于湖北武汉的专门美术院校,时由中南文艺学院、华南人民文学艺术学院、广西艺专等院校相关系科和人员合并而成。首任校长为参加过延安文艺座谈会的著名革命美术家胡一川,首任副校长为著名油画家杨秋人,著名国画家关山月和阳太阳。

The predecessor of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (GAFA) was Central South College of Fine Arts, a fine arts school established in Wuhan, Hubei Province in 1953 in response to the then national higher education plan. It represented the merger of the Central South Institute of Art and Literature in Wuhan, South China Institute of Art and Literature in Guangzhou and Guangxi Institute of Art. The first president of the College was Hu Yichuan, a famous revolutionary artist who participated in the renowned Yan'an Literature and Art Symposium in 1942, and the first vice presidents were famous oil painter Yang Qiuren, and famous painters of Chinese painting Guan Shanyue and Yang Taiyang.

1958年中南美术专科学校由武汉南迁广州,更名为广州美术学院。1981年获全国首批硕士学位授予权,1987年开始招收外国及港澳台地区学生,2005年获准为国家首批艺术硕士(MFA)培养试点单位,2021年经国务院学位委员会审议批准,获批成为博士学位授予单位,美术学和设计学获批为一级学科博士学位授权点。学校目前有艺术学理论、美术学、设计学三个一级学科硕士学位授权点以及艺术、风景园林、文物与博物馆、教育四个专业学位硕士授权点。

In 1958, the College was moved from Wuhan to Guangzhou and renamed Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (GAFA). In 1981, GAFA became one of the country’s first institutions authorized to confer master’s degrees; in 1987, it began to recruit international students and students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. In 2005, it was approved as one of the first pilots in China to launch Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program. In 2021, it was authorized by the State Council Academic Degrees Committee to confer doctor’s degrees in two first-level disciplines (Fine Arts, Design). Currently GAFA is also authorized to confer master’s degree in three first-level disciplines (Theories of Art Studies, Fine Arts, Design) and four majors (Art, Landscape Architecture, Cultural Heritage and Museology, Education).

学校坚持用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想铸魂育人,贯彻党的教育方针,落实立德树人根本任务,坚持“守正创新、开放包容、关注现实、服务社会”的办学理念,经过60多年的发展,形成了把握时代脉搏,关注社会需求,以美术与设计创新能力培养为重点,以艺术学理论与人文教育为支撑,多学科交叉融合,产学研联动,主动为社会和经济发展服务的办学特色,凝练出“先学做人,再事丹青”的校训。

GAFA adheres to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in its education undertaking, and implements CPC’s education policies in fulfilling the fundamental task of nurturing talents with morality. Upholding the education philosophy of “being upright and innovative with an open and inclusive mindset, an insight into the reality and an aspiration for serving the society”, GAFA has developed its own educational characteristics following over six decades of evolution. Specifically, it focuses on developing students’ innovative ability in fine arts and design to meet the needs of the era and the society, and, based on the theories of art studies and humanistic education, promotes multidisciplinary integration, enables interaction between professional practices, education and research, and actively serves the social and economic development. The motto of GAFA is thus established as “learn morality before art”.

步入新时代,广州美术学院依托广东作为改革开放排头兵、先行地和实验区的优势,立足粤港澳大湾区,凭借历史、区位、经济发展、文化资源以及人才汇聚的多方面优势,以高起点、新作为推进人才培养、科研创作,更好为新时代社会发展提供服务,主动融入粤港澳大湾区建设等国家战略,乘着“一带一路”倡议的东风加速向前。

In the new era, GAFA is determined to develop high-caliber talents and boost academic research and artistic creation at a higher starting point through new initiatives. To make this happen, it will leverage the strengths of Guangdong Province as the pioneer, pilot and experimental field of the reform and opening up policy and those of the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) in historical, geographical, economic, cultural and intellectual resources. In this way, GAFA will better serve the social development in the new era, play an active role in implementing the national strategies like GBA development, and work towards a more promising future as driven by the country’s Belt and Road” initiative.
