The subjects that we study are Graphics, Photography, Visual Communication, Advertising Planning, History Of Art, Literature, Math, History, Psychology, English and P.E. Moreover, during the fourth and the fifth year, there is an additional course for the use of some graphic software that we have to attend one day a week in the afternoon. This is a particular year for our school because it’s a year of school reforms that are causing enormous changes. Anyway this school gives a quite complete preparation about the graphics and the world of the advertising although to work as graphic artist is necessary an additional specialization, especially about web design.
