Master of Design in Interior Architecture and Design

at World University of Design India

Graphic design is a creative, strategic, managerial, and technical activity that helps produce visual solutions to communication problems. A Graphic Designer would typically be able to integrate the idioms and approaches of diverse disciplines such as science, medicine, engineering and information technology into a cross-disciplinary input to achieve a collaborative, multi-dimensional and hybrid visual output.

The program prepares a sound theoretical and conceptual understanding of Graphic Communication Design besides imparting software application skills, thus preparing a thoroughly professional graphic designer.

The master’s program builds into the project and research-based inquiry of the subject and prepares the student to emerge an expert in the interdisciplinary application and negotiation of the knowledge of performing arts to negotiate and mould social and cultural behaviours. They will also engage in a largely project-based study of the implementation of these learnings and produce research studies on the impact of the performing arts on history and technology. The program is largely oriented towards producing cultural administrators.

This course is designed to help students to understand the nature of creativity by letting go of stale habits and conditioning that prevent one from making contact with the natural flow of creative energy. Both inner and outer worlds and their relationship to colour will be explored during the course, through painting from a life model as well as from imagination.

Painting and Drawing fuses traditional expertise and technique with cutting-edge contemporary approaches to art making. In this program, you can study virtually every approach to painting and drawing, from traditional oil painting to graphic novel production and 3D spatial installation. Your technical, formal and conceptual skills will be developed through focused studio production and instruction in theory, art history and cultural studies. Drawing incorporates a wide array of materials and explores body, gestures, mark making, the construction of visual space, as well as symbols and storytelling. In Painting classes, you will explore colour through paint application, tools and techniques along with the formal language of painting and its use in abstract, figurative and hybrid/expanded modes.

Digital Drawing and Illustration students will develop skills with a variety software-based skills, yet constantly being exposed to traditional media methods and conceptual drawing skills. They will also be taught to integrate their works with photography and animation. Critical thinking, innovation, self- assessment and presentation techniques are an important part of the course along with direct industry exposure.

The Program has been designed keeping in mind the aesthetic and commercial aspects of contemporary film making and the change brought about with the advent of modern digital technology, making the medium more accessible to all. It focuses on developing a strong conceptual understanding of film as a medium of communication as well as narrative story-telling and how it can be applied as a tool of self-expression, social communication, corporate branding, advertising as well as mainstream entertainment. It aims at sensitizing the students to the core concepts of design in film form, while providing them with the necessary technical knowledge and hands-on experience with cutting edge digital tools related to video production and the cinema arts. The exhaustive core courses delve into the intricacies of film theory, screenwriting, film direction, cinematography, production design, art direction, sound design, photography, editing and video post-production.

The new-age Textiles Design program encompasses art, design, craft, and technology. Students in this field will acquire technical and conceptual skills to create soft products informed by material, purpose, and the sense of touch. A wide range of technical processes and topics including weaving, dyeing, printing, embellishment, surface design, felting, sewing, quilting, garment construction, knitting, crochet, laser cutting, digital print and pattern design. Students are encouraged to discover new ways of working through material experimentation. With the guidance of faculty, students develop an individualized language of colour, pattern and texture, both planar and sculptural in form.

The undergraduate course will prepare the student with a strong base in the theories of performance, the nuances of the classical, folk and contemporary arts, the rudiments of production and presentation along with rigorous insight. They will be exposed to the practical and theoretical practices of performance and introduced to literary, historical, traditional and cultural explorations of performing arts across cultures.

Harnessing the potential of emerging disruptive technologies such as data science, artificial intelligence & machine learning requires a new set of professional skills. Business world in coming times will be driven by individuals with expertise to apply these skills to organizational needs and strategies while navigating the ethical, psychological, and societal implications. The program aims to dramatically enhance the ability to make informed decisions of high quality, by making most optimal use of emerging technologies, human centred design and application of design thinking. Design Thinking skills imparted through a hands-on learning journey will help you develop the creative-thinking skills needed to innovate in any organisational context. By elevating your creative thinking skills, you will return to work able to develop and support a creative culture within your organisation. A culture that is capable of confidently pushing and sustaining innovative efforts.

Contemporary Art Practice is changing dramatically. Artists react to observations of the world we live in, translating experience into art production and interventions. Merging genres and media and creating new contexts for the expanding field of art practice. The Master’s program in Contemporary Art Program emphasizes on art meeting the public and creation of a framework for an individual history of practice. Regular dialogues with faculty, practitioners from around the world, architects, scientists, designers helps develop a platform for building life-long art practices and networks. Making and critical thinking are fundamental to the aims of the program. The studio based program encourages practices that are speculative and reflective, encouraging work in a range of media. It is concerned with ways of learning that are experiential – embodied through and understood by the acquisition of a practice.
