On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Vietnam University of Fine Arts, the scientific seminar "Vietnam University of Fine Arts - 100 years of creating modern fine arts and serving the country" was held, attracting the attention of many domestic and foreign scientists.
The workshop received 39 presentations, including 34 by domestic authors and 5 by foreign authors from countries such as Russia, France, and Japan. The presentations in the conference were approached by scientists from many different research perspectives of scientific value, summarizing in-depth research and a comprehensive view of the proud historical journey of Vietnam University of Fine Arts.
Speaking at the workshop, Dr. Dang Thi Phong Lan - Principal of Vietnam University of Fine Arts - said: "A hundred years is not a long time in the history of a nation, but it is a turbulent and proud journey for Vietnam University of Fine Arts.
From the Indochina School of Fine Arts, the first cradle of Vietnamese modern fine arts to today's Vietnam University of Fine Arts, we have witnessed the strong transformation of the country as well as the country's fine arts.
Over the past century, Vietnam University of Fine Arts has continuously created, nurtured and developed. We have gone through challenging historical periods, from the arduous years of the resistance war, when teachers and students of the school together made efforts to bring art to serve the revolution, to the decades of building the country after the war and until today, in the era of integration and development. Each stage marks the silent but extremely meaningful contributions of generations of artists, lecturers, and students of the school to the common cause of the country.
This workshop is a forum for us to analyze and deeply evaluate the historical milestones, outstanding achievements and continuous contributions of the School through the ages".
The content of the workshop was divided into 3 parts, including general issues about Vietnam University of Fine Arts; Vietnam University of Fine Arts in the 100-year journey of creating modern Vietnamese fine arts; Vietnam University of Fine Arts in the current context - the issue of training, exchange and cooperation.
These presentations are not only a valuable source of documents recording the 100-year journey of maturity, accompanying the history of the country, but they are also new suggestions for the development of training, composition and research in fine arts.
In the new context, along with international integration and diverse artistic development, this conference will contribute to helping the school position existing values and integrate more deeply with the world.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Nghia Phuong - Vice Principal of the school - assessed that since the opening of the first course in November 1925, the Vietnam University of Fine Arts has continuously made significant contributions to the cause of national liberation, resistance and national defense and construction, contributing to the development of modern Vietnamese fine arts.
This workshop scientifically arranged reliable historical documents and comments to affirm the role of the school from the beginning with the name of Indochina Fine Arts School to today's Vietnam University of Fine Arts. In each period, the school's historical mission is to train closely with the urgent needs of society and the times.
