BRIEF HISTORY

The training of specialists in the field of decorative arts began in 1984 at the Applied Decorative Arts Department (within the former State Institute of Arts) under the leadership of Eduard Copaciov and Vlad Bolboceanu. After the reorganization of the State University of Arts in 2002 into the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, internal restructuring followed, so the Applied Decorative Arts Department was renamed the Department of Artistic Ceramics and Artistic Metal Processing, led by Tudor Hîncu, and since 2012 Elena Frunze has taken over the leadership of the department.

The Sculpture specialization was established at the department in 2004, guided by the sculptor Iurii Canaşin. In this study program, plastic artists such as Ion Zderciuc, Mircea Puşcaş, Dmitrii Beldii, Grigorie Băţ worked as lecturers. Since 2011, the artistic director of the sculpture group is Octavian Romanescu, Master of Arts.

The Tapestry Department was established in 1986, headed by Andrei Negură, based on the country's needs to provide qualified specialists in the field of decorative arts in the textile arts sector. Over the years, the department has been led by Alexandru Șestacovschii, Aliona Cotorobai, Iurie Lupu, Felicia Savițkaia.

In 2006, within the Tapestry Department, in addition to the Artistic Tapestry specialty, a new specialty was opened - Restoration and Conservation of Works of Art.

The internal reorganization of AMTAP in November 2017 merged the Artistic Tapestry Department and the Ceramics and Artistic Metal Processing Department, forming the Department of Decorative Arts and Sculpture with two internal sections: Artistic Ceramics/Artistic Metal and Sculpture and the Artistic Tapestry section. The Department was led by the head of the department Elena Frunze and Felicia Saviţkaia, head of the Tapestry section (from 2017 to 2022), currently the leadership is taken over by Iarîna Saviţkaia-Baraghin, Master of Arts, PhD, associate professor and head of the Artistic Ceramics and Sculpture section, lecturer Elena Frunze.

In 2023, a new specialty opens at the department, namely Animation.

The teaching activity in the department's specialties has been supported over the years by specialists in the field, graduates of prestigious institutions in the Baltic States, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania and the Republic of Moldova, members of creative unions, dedicated to the teaching profession, who have substantially contributed to establishing special traditions and educational principles in the field of higher artistic education, namely in the field of decorative arts, creating a prestigious School with traditions and values ​​cultivated, preserved and continuously valued by generations.
