Recently, our 11th and 12th-grade students had the exciting opportunity to visit the Indian Institute of Art and Design (IIAD). This immersive campus visit was designed to provide them with a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic world of design and the various career paths within the creative industry.
Engaging Interactive Sessions
The visit kicked off with a series of interactive sessions that sparked the students’ interest in design. These activities encouraged them to think outside the box and consider how creativity can be applied in various fields. The engaging nature of these sessions allowed our students to connect with the concepts of design thinking and innovation, igniting their imaginations.
Guided Campus Tour
Following the interactive sessions, students were led on a guided tour of IIAD’s state-of-the-art facilities. They had the chance to see firsthand the cutting-edge resources available to students, including design studios, workshops, and exhibition spaces. This exposure was instrumental in illustrating the vibrant community and the collaborative atmosphere that IIAD fosters.
Insight into Career Paths
One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity for our students to engage with faculty members and current students. These discussions provided valuable insights into potential career paths in design, fashion, media, and other creative industries. The students were particularly inspired by the works of aspiring fashion designers, media experts, and design specialists showcased throughout the campus.
Creative Workshops
A standout moment of the visit was a hands-on workshop focused on fashion design using waste materials and newspapers. This session was not only filled with excitement but also encouraged students to explore their creativity and consider sustainable practices in design. The workshop provided a unique blend of learning and fun, allowing students to experiment with materials and techniques that they may not have encountered before.
Overall, this campus visit to IIAD was an invaluable experience for our students. It opened their eyes to the vast possibilities within the creative industries and allowed them to engage with the design world in a meaningful way. The enthusiasm and spirit with which our students participated in the various activities were commendable, reflecting their eagerness to explore potential career paths.
As they return to their studies, we hope this experience inspires them to pursue their passions in the arts and design, armed with new knowledge and a broader perspective on the opportunities that lie ahead.
