COURSES FOR PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA

INTERIOR DESIGN PROFESSIONAL DIPLOMA

The Interior Design Professional Diploma (IDPD) is conceptualized as a professional short course at the National College of Arts, Lahore for individuals targeting a comprehensive understanding of technical, functional, and representational aspects of professional practice within the domain of interior design.

Structure of the Studio course: • Days per week: 02 • Hours per week: 08 • Duration of the course: 32- 36 weeks (2 semesters) This 1-Year short course familiarizes students how to get equipped with the tools, techniques, and processes to understand varied issues of a particular interior design project, resolve the issues through functional and schematic development, prepare working and technical drawings, and finally monitor execution. Given the constraints of one academic year, the scope of this diploma covers the more pragmatic concerns of design. Although conceptual and philosophical development and discussion is not discouraged, we strongly encourage research through reading relevant reference books, meeting related

professionals, and visiting relevant sites. Moreover, these aspects are also made a part of the assignments. Assessment criteria The student’s evaluation is based on their day-to-day performance through meeting assignment requirements and project objectives. The student’s physical and mental presence in the studio and respect of the studio environment is highly encouraged and valued. Participation in the studio discussions, performance in studio exercises, and work progress allows transparent assessment of concerned students.

INTERIOR DESIGN MA(PRE) TITLE OF THE STUDIO COURSE: The student are going to deal with unique and prototypical small as well as large-scale interior projects. These include residences, office environments, restaurants, and commercial facilities. Every attempt is made to simulate officeworking conditions with ‘’real’’ sites and requirements. Programming and space planning are central issues in solving these design problems. In the beginning, this subject deals with our relation to space, form, and the environment in a broad sense. Emphasis is on human factors, scale, materials, and structures. The subject progress from the abstract to problem solving through analysis, and include consideration of professional design prob-

SITE ANALYSIS: The students are required to do a detail analysis of the site making diagrams about the structure, all the services like electrical, plumbing, sewerage,

also pedestrian traffic, solar direction, wind direction, etc. 4. PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY: The students are required to do the photographic survey of the site. They are also required to survey 3 more sites of the same topic to gather information about the latest trends of the market and also to broaden your perception about the subject and their interiors. Out of the 3, at least 2 surveys have to be from the local market while the other 1 can be researched from magazines, books, internet, etc. This research should be done according to different items in that specific interior, like furniture, lighting, partitioning system, flooring, walls, and ceilings, etc., and at the end of the project; this research should be used to decide on different furniture items and materials.

Phase Two: Designing This phase consists of applying the research done in the previous phase into design. Keeping the research at the back of their heads, students are required to work on the following areas ďŹ rst: 1. BUBBLE DIAGRAM: This will help the students to develop the understanding of relationships between different spaces of the premises provided and then come up with the most innovative solution for the organization of different functions into different spaces. 2. THEME: Students are also required to work on a specific theme while they are working on their design. The idea of developing the theme is to help students develop a direction towards the

special planning and specially help them identify the usage of certain material in the context of that specific theme. With the help of the above mentioned processes and by applying the research done in the previous phase, students can work towards the design of their interior, make improvements towards their design after having discussions with their teacher and can ultimately freeze their design. Phase Three: Finalizing This will consist of finalizing your design, working on all the details, working on your presentation, models and material boards.

INTRODUCTION I.

INTRODUCTION The MA Visual Art Programme provides a unique opportunity to extend beyond the boundaries of art education methodologies available in Pakistan. Whereas the undergraduate programme at the NCA attempts to introduce students to the basics of fine art practice, with an emphasis on the acquisition of technical skills, the MA Programme proposes to emphasize the development of intellectual growth and critical discourse in the context of an already established art practice. In a time when it is recognized that various disciplines within art practice are converging, it is essential that students are offered the opportunity to understand this change in approach to art practice and discourse so as to locate themselves and their work within a local and a global context. The Programme provides a theoretical and visual infrastructure that will discuss local practice and discourse within the broader contexts of South Asia and the rest of the world. The Programme addresses the issue of exchanges of information, and politico-historical realities that have created the hierarchies that currently exist in the world with reference to the visual arts. The proposed ethos of the course springs from the necessity to understand these dynamics in view of the advent of globalization and multiculturalism. South Asia is a region that has continuously been in a state of flux and the result has been a potentially rich cultural context for the making of art that is both eclectic and dynamic. This perception of geopolitical reality is a phenomenon which is not simply a part of historical debate but is concurrent with contemporary issues in art. This awareness can exist only if these issues of the local and the global are tackled at the level of postgraduate study, in order to establish a generation of young artists who are cognisant of the realities of discourse, criticism and visual perceptions within the

INTRODUCTION context of their own work and that of others. The Programme has therefore been structured to provide continuous link areas not only between art theory and art practice but also between the historical and the contemporary. The Programme feels that it is important to recognise the historical and geographical uniqueness of Pakistan within the context of the visual arts, but also to locate the Pakistani artist within the framework of international debate. In view of this, the Programme is structured to encourage students to interact with the wider environment of the city and specifically to make links with traditional practitioners and artists who may fall outside of institutionalised art practice. Consequently the course will raise questions and examine pre-established notions of western hegemony within art practice and discourse. Thereby reclaiming and validating the rich cultural heritage of this region and its contribution to art practice the world over.

COURSE COMPONENTS IV a.

THEORY

ART THEORY AND CRITICISM

The Art Theory and Criticism course will consist of a weekly lecture followed by a seminar. The purpose of this course is to equip students with a greater understanding of the cultural and socio-historical context in which art is produced/practiced. This will enable them to contextualise the emergence of certain movements and trends in art, thereby providing them with a theoretical tool box with which they can engage critically with art practice.

This will include a lecture series on history so that students can ground all future discussion within a chronological historical order. The course will address the development of the philosophical, economic and political base from which art emerges with an emphasis on the last 200 years In addition, other issues such as appropriation, globalization, colonization, nationalism and other more general topics, which are central to this discourse, will be addressed. These lecture series will enable students to draw parallels and acknowledge the visual and conceptual exchanges between western and non-western cultures (with an emphasis on South Asia), and understand the nature of the hierarchies that exist in the world today.

THIRD SPACE SEMINAR

The Third Space Seminar will be conducted as a follow up to the Art Theory and Criticism course. This is essentially a link area between studio practice and the theoretical part of the course; and will be conducted in the form of weekly seminars. The seminars will enable students to understand the relationship between Art Theory and Criticism and Art Practice in order to develop the ability to relate it to the context of their own work and that of others.

MA VISUAL ARTS RESEARCH SEMINAR

The research seminar will be conducted weekly over a period of two years. It aims to develop individual critical ability and articulation skills through a study of the philosophical, structural and formalistic moorings integral to art. A number of prevalent research methodologies will be a taught component of the seminar. These will enable students to execute the written requirements of the MA(Hons.) programme, including the mandatory extended essay. A broader understanding of the creative arts will be achieved through Seminars on the Arts of South Asia conducted with a more holistic approach and will discuss dance, theatre, music, film and literature. Studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to conduct research will be assessed by written exercises and through individual/group presentations.

EXTENDED ESSAY

The Extended Essay is a compulsory component of the Research Seminar This comprises a written paper of 8000-10000 words with supporting documentation (audio/visual etc) if necessary.

OPTIONAL COURSES

Optional Courses will run during the third term of the programme. Students will be required to take a minimum of one optional course over a period of two years. i.) Anthropology of Art ii) Philosophy of Art iii) The History and Practical Theory of Miniature Painting iv) Issues in Contemporary Art All optional courses are subject to change depending on availability of faculty.

MA VISUAL ARTS IV b.

ART PRACTICE

The programme provides a structured learning experience in which the theoretical and practical parts of the course are devised in a way that neither operate in isolation but provide a context for each other. Students will be expected to pursue a rigorous course of study during which they design and pursue an individual line of research, and will be required through active participation to articulate their concerns both visually and theoretically. The emphasis of the course is to develop individual ideas and intellectual capabilities particularly with reference to critical, evaluative and conceptual concerns for the production of works of high professional quality. The Programme therefore caters to mature individuals with a high level of commitment to independent art practice Art does not happen in a vacuum but occurs within its own social and cultural context. A multidisciplinary approach acknowledges the interconnectedness between disciplines and thereby promotes a non-isolationist view. Part of the ethos of the programme is to breakdown hierarchies in art particularly in the context of Pakistan and the region where historically the boundaries between art and craft did not exist. This programme will encourage students to explore and question these boundaries, which will in turn provide the opportunity for them to go where their research leads them. As we see it the role of art practice is to create a space for individuals to realize their self-expression and to communicate their ideas with a wider audience. Multiculturalism, as opposed to singularity in approach, is an integral part of the ethos of this course. It is essential, therefore, that students have access to information and artists from all over the world and not only from Pakistan. By drawing on international resource persons, students will be able to engage with cultures both similar and dissimilar to ours; thereby equipping themselves with a varied conceptual and visual base that will enable a greater understanding of their own visual tools. The MA Visual Art programme aims to pursue an approach in which students will be

MA VISUAL ARTS expected to find the best means of translating conceptual concerns into visual expression. The art world has become increasingly aware of the fact that traditional boundaries between disciplines and mediums are being removed to the benefit of art practice. The programme aims to approach art practice through a broad base, in which various disciplines and techniques may be used. Students will be free to pursue an indepth exploration of any discipline of their choice, or to cross interdisciplinary boundaries This allows a maximum amount of flexibility within chosen areas of concern.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR ART PRACTICE

Although the emphasis of the programme is not on the development of technical skills, it is felt that there are a number of technical support structures that need to be made available in order to facilitate practice. These are listed below. The list also includes a number of more specialised technical support courses that can be accessed on demand by individuals or by a group of students. These are deemed necessary because they provide the opportunity for students to broaden their technical base when the need arises.

MA VISUAL ARTS WOOD WORKSHOP/ METAL WORKSHOP Students will have an orientation to basic workshop facilities available on campus. If further instruction is required, one-day workshops will be made available on demand throughout the course

PLACEMENT WITH TRADITIONAL PRACTITIONERS. The aim of the course is to question existing distinctions between art and craft, and to learn the processes, techniques and methodologies of traditional practices. All students will therefore be required to complete a 4-6 week placement with a traditional practitioner. This will enable them to extend their studio practice and engage with an alternative cultural and visual experience. Students will be expected to submit a written paper (800-1000 words) with documentation. All students are required to make a presentation based on their placement experience in addition to the report. Presentation stemming from this placement may take any form including the production of a piece of work done in a traditional manner to the translation of any aspect of traditional practice into other dimensions.

STATEMENT OF INTENT A 500-1500 word statement of intent is to be submitted prior to the mid course external assessment and then for the final external assessment. The aim of the statement is to encourage students to articulate the intention behind their work thereby bringing focus and clarity to their conceptual concerns and enabling critical analysis of their own work.
