The Administrator of the MAVC Malta School of Art Mr Umberto Buttigieg, together with Art Teacher Mr Roderick Camilleri explains how the Malta School of Art in Valletta had been contributing to the education of art since 1923 and how the School’s story is now part of the Maltese patrimony. Moreover, both explain how since the school started to form part of the Mikiel Anton Vassalli College, the focus was to follow the College’s vision, namlely that to give full value to learning especially in the visual and performing arts. The result is that the Malta School of Art, through the College’s Licence, are offering courses starting from MQF level 1 up to level 5. Mr Buttigieg explained that since the courses offer full qualification, they incorporate Exit Awards in case a learner opts to give a value even to specific course module/s.
Mr Buttigieg and Mr Camilleri were accompanied by two learners from their school: Laurette Tong and Eve Bartolo Romano. Apart from sharing their personal experiences in the learning of visual arts they demonstrated some of their art work.
