The Academy of Fine Arts was established on the basis of the original Fine Arts Department in April 2004. The former Fine Arts Department was formerly the Painting Department of Central China Normal University, which was established in 1952. 1985 Huazhong normal university resumed the establishment of the fine arts department.
