History of the Department of Fine Arts and Technological Education
The Department of Fine Arts and Technological Education has a rich history of structural evolution. In 2002, Fine Arts and Applied Arts programs existed within the "Vocational Education" faculty of Samarkand State University. Over the years, the department operated under names such as "Artistic Graphics and Teaching Methodology" and "Fine Arts and Engineering Graphics."
Parallelly, the Technological Education field was established in 1976 as the "General Technical Sciences" department. On February 5, 2025, by the decision of the Scientific Council of the Samarkand State Pedagogical Institute, these two historic branches were merged to form the current Department of Fine Arts and Technological Education.
