BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) Program
Effective from 2013-2014 Session, Revised in 2016
The objective of the theoretical and the drawing and making courses of the Department of Sculpture is to provide as complete an idea as possible about the various streams of art, and the materials and techniques of sculpture. Through the courses the students are encouraged to develop as individuals, on the one hand, while they acquire knowledge and information about art and the art world to enable them to gain confidence to contribute meaningfully and significantly in their own field of work. The BFA program of the Department of Sculpture aims to introduce students to the traditional and experimental materials and techniques of sculpture; to work with and experiment with objects, forms, space, and other elements of sculpture, to develop applied or practical skills as well as concepts and ideas. The goal of the first 3 years of the program is gaining proficiency in making study-based sculptures with exercises in modelling, casting, carving and other methods. The students are also encouraged to develop curiosity and enthusiasm in making sculptures and installations with found objects and readymade objects. They are encouraged to consider and discuss their own practice in the perspective of the historical and contemporary art world. They are encouraged to experiment with new media which grows from the technical innovations of contemporary times. Drawing is practiced to study and understand objects. Gaining knowledge about objects through the application of various materials and techniques of drawing is focused.
Students are encouraged to seek individuality in their practice in the fourth year based on the experience of the exercises of the past 3 years.
The primary objective of the theoretical syllabus is to provide students a clear concept of world art of the past and present so that students are able to consciously develop their own practice in its perspective through analysis, criticism and discussion.
The BFA program will be concluded in 4 years. Each year the student will be promoted to the next year through an examination. When tabulating the 4th Year examination, the total marks of the 4 years will be summed to determine the final result.
