The predecessor of School of Chinese Painting was the Chinese Painting Department founded in 1958, which was reconstructed as School of Chinese Painting in 2005. Based on the teaching concept of traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, drawing, art history and theory, School of Chinese Painting adopts a studio system and undertakes its teaching approach of "mixing up imitation, drawing and creation" and sets up its courses such as imitation, drawing and sketching, calligraphy, seal-stone engraving, creation and other electives. The school has set up figures (detailed and freeidea painting), landscape, flower-bird and calligraphy majors, as well as material experimentation and expression of Chinese painting and a research center for calligraphy and painting comparison, etc. The school has made great progress by innovation, which takes a leading and demonstrating role in China' s fine arts education.
