Mission Statement
With 'Strength, Reverence, Mastery, Exploration' as its motto, CAA upholds following pedagogical philosophies: to build a world-class university; to foster a multifaceted approach to learning, seeking harmony through diversity; to cultivate individuals to possess the ‘Four Sensibilities’—Integrity and Knowledge, Practice and Theory, Ancient and Modern, Local and Global; to establish a model for ‘erudite craftsmen’ emphasizing ‘knowledge attained through practice and consciousness attained through scholarship’.
International Role
Entering the new century, CAA leapt forward through renovating the campuses, continuing its philosophies, expanding academic disciplines, and re-organizing its departments and school. CAA has exchange agreement with 29 famous art schools & universities in the world, and collaboration with over 100 partners around the world.
National Role
CAA formerly known as the National Academy of Art, was founded in 1928 by the renowned educator and scholar, Cai Yuanpei. Beside West Lake of Hangzhou, the Academy was established as the first ever comprehensive national art institution of higher education in China. In the ninety years of the Academy's history, two perspectives defining its pedagogical approach remained clear during the time. One includes the concept of 'A fusion of eastern and western cultures', championed by the Academy's first president, Lin Fengmian. The other advocated by later president Pan Tianshou, emphasizing the idea that ‘A innovation derives from tradition'.CAA initiated strategic cooperations with Hangzhou helping to build an international cultural city. Relying on the industry-university-research cooperation platforms such as the National University Science and Technology (Creative) Park, Cultural and Creative Design and Manufacturing Cooperative Innovation Center, Industrial Design Research Institute, Textile and Apparel Research Institute, etc., CAA promotes the development of Zhejiang manufacturing and fashion industries.
Main Focus
CAA shoulders its dual responsibilities of cultural inheritance and innovation, and artistic education.It dedicates to building a new group of disciplines focused on specialized visual arts courses in Eastern culture and techniques. It sets up a 'two-stage' teaching structure including foundation studies and specialized studies incorporating the 'lab-workshop-research center' model. The academy develops a new system of 'Five Disciplines and Ten+ Schools' and bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs.
