京都市立芸術大学（下京区）の創設は、1880年の京都府画学校を端緒とする。以後、京都市立美術工芸学校、さらに専門的な市立絵画専門学校と枠組みを進化させながら、京都画壇を担う人材を輩出してきた。京都市京セラ美術館の特別展「巨匠たちの学び舎（や）―日本画の名作はこうして生まれた」は、同校が生んだ代表的な日本画家を教員も含め47人選び、全128作品で「学び舎」の価値を伝える。

The founding of Kyoto City University of Arts (Shimogyo Ward) began in 1880 as the Kyoto Prefectural Painting School. Since then, the university has evolved into the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts, and then the more specialized Municipal Painting College, producing talented artists who will lead the Kyoto art world. The special exhibition at the Kyocera Museum of Art, Kyoto, entitled "The School of Masters: How Masterpieces of Japanese Painting were Born," selects 47 representative Japanese painters from the school, including faculty members, and conveys the value of the "school" through a total of 128 works.
