BFA - DETAILS OF COURSES

The College of Art makes it its endeavor in its academic programs to take account of what has happened in the past, to be alive to the present and plan for the future.
Fine Art today is a multi-dimensional process reaching nearly all aspects of nature and humanity in search of form, expression and affirmation. The concerns of the artist spans the uniqueness of his / her own vision, the formative processes of life experience, and the complexity of his/her participation. Factors motivating Design range from the common needs for food, shelter, clothing and communication to the most esoteric desires of esteem and self-realization. Design is a force that historically reflects both individual interpretation, conditioned by changing environments and the restrains of materials and technologies of the time.
The Foundation Course is an intensive one year study at the first year level which is common to the Specializations of Painting, Sculpture, Applied Art, Printmaking and Visual Communication providing basic training in art and design. It is an introduction to inter-related, equally important subjects which include Drawing, Color, Clay modeling, Printing, Geometry & Perspective, materials and tools and exercises in form, aesthetics and concepts, all of which are designed to promote visual and textural sensitivity, formal perception and manual neat handedness.
The Course emphasizes on creating an awareness in the student about the fundamental principles of visual and design experience and to suitably prepare him/her for the Specialization Course. History and Appreciation of Art as a compulsory theory subject and language study of Hindi and English as qualifying theory subjects are studied during the academic session.

The final project to be submitted is a complete Campaign promoting either an enterprise or a product or a social issue, along with the other work done during the academic year.

The Course is meant to equip the student with such abilities as to inspire him to recreate the living quality of our art traditions in the contemporary manifestations of his work and an attitude of professional responsibility. It differs from other fields of specializations to the extent that a major portion of the creative work is intended to be realized through manipulation and exploration of the latest materials and processes in arriving at a synthesis between content and form rather than a direct application.

Students pursuing the Course in Visual Communication would be trained to develop in understanding of the various related mediums that include design, illustration & cartooning, photography, scripting, storyboarding, film making & editing, 2D and 3D animations, interface design and computer graphics.
