 Design in the new milliennium Design as an activity is as old as civilization itself. Human beings have always shaped the environment to best suit the needs of their times & adapted themselves wherever they can not change the surrounding. Design is not only about making products and communication better, but also improvising products and systems, so as to improve the quality of life for the user. Designers are expected to inculcate an attitude and perseverance for the path-breaking thought through continuous inquiry to find the obvious in the unobvious. VariaDDesign takes the opportunity to groom young minds to attain their potential. Established on 1st May 1994, VARIADDESIGN was commenced with a view of Design Education and carry out projects / research in the field of different Design streams. The institute offers a highly dynamic environment for the budding artists and designers and provides them extraordinary career opportunities. Achievement & Special Activites Varia DDesign regularly organizes exhibitions of students and professional work. The basic objective is to expose students to Exhibition Design and take them through the process of execution of a well planned show. This generates confidence and hence giving them practical experience. We have got an overwhelming response from the general public over the past few years, which have resulted in receiving numerous projects from various individuals and organizations as a reward.
Methodology Varia DDesign conducts programmes which give insight to various elements of design by exchanging ideas, thoughts, and views through discussions on students work, showing relevant films, interacting with design professionals. Students are encouraged to visit important historical monuments, museums, production houses, process houses and also to study local areas to observe, understand and document their distinctive character and its relation with art and design. Opportunities for exhibiting one’s self creatively will help to grow their knowledge along with grooming confidence and creativity in them. Each student is individually attended and nurtured as per their capacity and talent. They are also helped to develop relevant skills in order to be able to exhibit it. Experienced professionals and faculties with the artistic integrity, broad intelligence and deep responsibility influence the students in the right manner and clarify their idea about design world. WHAT THE INSTITUTE OFFERS It has been observed and proven that too little attention is paid to the problems of art in our education system. It is the lack of creative focus, which, if given due importance would be the source of every new insight into the nature of art and would foster every kind of talent. The history of literature is studied, but the students are not helped to develop their own imaginary power of self-expression. From this point of view the structure of most curriculums is inadequate and unsuitable for giving shape to fresh impulses. It is urgent, therefore, that educators should stop thinking in terms of results and thus clear the way for an outlook which embraces a wider field of activities and is more alter to their finer and deeper interrelationships. Line, place surface, color, material, space and time should be presented to students as a coherent whole. Discipline and freedom are thus to be seen as elements of equal weight, each partaking of the other. Creation of a design can include anything and everything. It could range from minute things as a safety pin to planning a new highway system. The essence lies in what the work can communicate. Whether it is a symbol or a robe- it needs to speak for itself. A student at Varia Institute is exposed to various disciplines and intensive training to meet the various needs of the industry with extreme versatility. He is made to realize his potential by effective visualization, unbound creativity and by developing the necessary skills. The Institute strongly believes that the cultural heritage of our country can be made a foundation to develop the ethics of any design process. |
