Aims and Scope

TAMA Journal of Visual Arts is published by the Faculty of Art and Design Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS). The journal is published twice a year, providing a space for academics, researchers and art and design practitioners to convey their ideas and thoughts. We encourage breakthroughs in practice and critical thinking that contribute positively to developing science,  knowledge and practice in art and design. The journal accepts high-quality and original writing in the form of research or propositional articles, either practical or theoretical thinking. To be considered for inclusion in the publication, articles can discuss the following topics (but are not limited to):

  • Fine Arts, including Painting, Sculpture, Graphic Arts, Crafts, Pottery, Film, and Multimedia Arts.
  • Design, including Visual Communication Design, Interior and Space Design, Fashion Design, Textile Design, Industrial Design, Product Design, Service Design, and Interaction Design.
  • Conceptual themes, including Aesthetic, Visual Culture, Design Culture, Social Design, Sustainable Design, Participatory Art, Strategy and Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Creative Economy.
  • Art and design education.

We also consider special issues with guest editors and themes. Special issues could come from proposal submissions or certain art and design conference presentations. Please note that this journal only publishes articles in English.
