DEAN’S MESSAGE

Inspiring excellence,

“At Mariam Dawood School of Visual Arts and Design, the year 2023 marks 20 years of taking the lead in celebrating diversity through a creative inquiry since it was established as the first school of BNU – Pakistan’s first not-for-profit liberal arts university. Now, entering the third decade of the institution and looking back in retrospect, we see the two decades as two phases: if the first decade has been about evolving naturally through sheer passion and excitement combined with a clear vision, the second decade/phase has given strength to this endeavour by creating and streamlining strong systems so that the outcomes of the first decade have expanded for a growing future. “

MDSVAD PROGRAMS

Empowering Lives Through Diverse Programs of Study

Department of Fine Arts

The Department of Fine Arts at Mariam Dawood School of Visual Arts & Design (MD-SVAD) is a unique program in the region. It offers students the possibility of cutting across disciplines, researching, archiving, questioning and reinventing existing methods of Art-making. This department equips students with the freedom to forge their personal paths.


Department of Textile, Fashion & Accessories Design

The Textile, Fashion and Accessories programme at BNU MDSVAD, has evolved with a dynamic vision this year to meet the ever-changing ecology of design. Global and regional expectations in the context of design morphology have led to the restructuring of the TFA curriculum with renewed passion. The TFA structure will allow students to decipher their own customized learning path choosing electives of their choice which will act as a scaffolding to support their design investigations.


Department of Visual Communication Design

Visual Communication Design at SVAD focuses on the role of a designer as a thinker-designer with a deep understanding of the core principles of design, the integration of technology and the accumulative application in the form of images, interactions and objects. The Department of Visual Communication Design endeavours to generate a mindset that allows students to combine a critical understanding of context with acquired conceptual and technical skills, allowing them to enact design interventions in environments real, virtual or imagined.


Department of Graduate & Interdisciplinary Studies

Mariam Dawood School of Visual Arts and Design (SVAD) at Beaconhouse National University has taken the lead in implementing an innovative interdisciplinary approach to art, design, their expanded fields and their pedagogy. Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies at SVAD offers three-degree programmes: BA (Hons), Interdisciplinary Expanded Design & Art (IEDA), Master of Art & Design Studies (MA ADS) and a low-residency Master of Art Education (MA AE). The degrees aim to foster curiosity, adaptability and a rigorous sense of inquiry.


Foundation Year Studies

The Foundation Studies programme is a seminal year for all students of SVAD. It prepares students for their future majors in Visual Art, Visual Communication Design, Textile, Fashion and Accessories Design, and Interdisciplinary and Expanded Design & Art by introducing them to practical techniques of art-making but also setting the groundwork for critical and conceptual thinking. Having a dynamic curriculum that aims to stay relevant to current global trends in art practices, this year it has evolved further to give students an even better grasp on their chosen field of study, while simultaneously giving them the freedom to explore a wide range of creative avenues. In its new role, the Foundation programme will provide broad-based fundamental knowledge in the Fall semester, and then, in the Spring, move on to imparting skills and concepts more specific to post-Foundation disciplines through offering electives. Studio courses deal with several mediums and approaches towards art production, while their ideological counterparts are provided by theory courses dealing with visuality and memory. A hybrid studio/ theory course dealing with contextuality strives to provide their art-making with context through historical and contemporary aesthetic philosophies. Students are equipped with methodologies of visually articulating their ideas, individually as well as collaboratively, and encouraged to use art and design as agents of change in their societies. The first year may be overwhelming for any art student trying to determine a future career path. Keeping this and the diverse educational backgrounds and learning capacities of our student body in mind, the programme is designed to nurture their individual artistic personalities in order to help them identify their own interests, and eventually grow into confident individuals ready to carve out their niche in the real world.
