Bezalel’s Art and Design Teaching Center
Informed by Bezalel’s unique teaching and learning needs and characteristics, the Academy’s Art and Design Teaching Center was planned to create a professional and continuous foundation for the development of teaching at the Academy. Much like art and design, the Center considers teaching to be a creative, dynamic, reflective and knowledge-based practice. The Center encourages the development of teaching and learning processes, while leading innovative initiatives within Bezalel and in collaboration with various Israeli and international academic institutions.
An independent team in the Bezalel ecosystem, the Center works closely with the Academy’s academic and administrative units with the belief that the formulation of sustainable teaching requires a holistic, multidisciplinary, creative and open approach. Through its members – who are themselves lecturers in Bezalel departments – the Center is involved in all aspects of teaching and learning in the Academy, systematically examining the challenges various academic units face and responding to emerging needs.
The Center works in three corresponding and complementary spheres:
- Teaching development – as a framework for the formulation of teaching tools, ideas and skill for lecturers
- Teaching management – as a framework for the professional development of academic directors in academic training, teaching and learning evaluation; curricula construction and evaluation; and academic leadership
- Education research – as a framework for the facilitation and support of teaching and learning research, allowing lecturers to systematically examine various teaching methods with the aim of developing new practices.
Bezalel is a learning community whose different partners – and primarily faculty members and students – engage in an ongoing exploration of pedagogies and in shaping diverse, varied and new learning experiences. The Center wishes to involve as many stakeholders as possible in the research and development of teaching and learning at the Academy and share the knowledge, tools and ideas formulated within it with as wide an audience as possible.

Students in the Department of Screen-Based Arts have a unique and marvelous opportunity to create new worlds, breath life into them through motion and choreography and fill them with substance through a storyline. Animation and video artists can break loose from narrative and convert the camera into a distinctive tool that can become a flexible and clever writing and drawing implement to express passions, thoughts and ideas or just document and tell a story. They can do all this by simply using a pencil and paper, by moving objects in space or by utilizing the newest, state-of-the-art digital technologies and 3D software.
The Department teaches classical 2D, stop motion, 3D animation, video art, documentary and experimental film making – as well as new and interactive media programs, such as augmented and virtual reality. It offers students the rare opportunity to choose from a wide variety of traditional techniques, cutting-edge tools and future technologies – and any combination of them.
In the Department, students learn to become independent, professional and multidisciplinary creators who possess the skills and desire to enhance and innovate in their artistic field. The comprehensive curriculum helps students develop a critical outlook and individual vocabulary. As they hone their craft, they begin to transcend language to generate bold statements, touching upon social, political, personal and cultural subjects that are pertinent to the world – many times breaking through the barriers between art, movie-making, animation and new medias to develop a sharp and personal message.
As Israel’s most comprehensive animation and experimental cinematography degree program, the Department is considered “the start-up nation of animation.” Bezalel’s visual artists are known and recognized worldwide for their ability to convey their thoughts, beliefs and inspirations and communicate their message with a powerful impact – garnering them many international awards and prizes, some of them the most prestigious in the field.

The Department of Jewelry and Fashion combines a holistic approach to all creative activities relating to the body and its environment with in-depth instruction and research in techniques, materials and conceptual perspectives. The program marries formal instruction in traditional craft techniques with the study of advanced technological and ecological methods to explore research and produce articles for the human body.
The interdisciplinary curriculum offers specialized tracks in jewelry, accessories and fashion. While stressing the necessity of maintaining harmony among them, it encourages the exploration of the boundaries between the specialties and the establishment of new channels of thought. Fruitful dialogues and a collective conversation among these different fields of study provide fertile ground for imaginative and innovative design while maintaining the creative space of each.
The program provides a comprehensive learning experience that trains the next generation of designers to create original work inspired by the world around them. It guides them to draw upon local artisanship and time-honored crafts such as Judaica and embroidery, while simultaneously exposing them to the latest global expressions and styles. With the digital production revolution in full swing, the Department aims to be at the forefront of new technologies – to chart the path that incorporates cutting-edge tools and methodologies into traditional practices and techniques to create a totally new and inspiring vision.
The Department’s historic continuum of setting the standard and leading the way has garnered its students, graduates and faculty some of the most prestigious awards in Israel and around the world, in the fields of jewelry, shoes and clothing.
