Hyderabad: IIT Hyderabad has kick-started another year of “Creative Arts courses” for the period of January- April, 2016. The season has already witnessed renowned artists like Prahlad Tipaniya and Jayachandran Palazhy coming down to the campus to impart experiential knowledge in their respective fields.
Many more such courses are lined-up in the field of theatre, performance arts, music and creative writing
Since 2009 undergraduates have been offered a chance to earn credits in the fine arts. Professor U.B. Desai, Director, IIT Hyderabad firmly believes that knowledge of fine arts and performing arts are indispensable to a well-rounded Engineering curriculum.
The programme began with courses in photography taught by the celebrated photographer Navroz Contractor and since then has been seeing excellent response from the arts community with experts like MK Raina, Prahlad Tipaniya, Jayachandran Palazhy coming on board to share their wealth of knowledge with the participants, through these courses."
IIT Hyderabad has being conducting the creative arts courses since 2009 as part of its efforts to produce an intellectual environment conducive to innovation and radically new approaches to learning, teaching and research. The Creative Arts Programme at IIT Hyderabad offers the undergraduates a chance to earn credits in the fine arts by conducting various short courses, ranging in duration from three days to five weeks, offered by established artists from various fields.
Courses are planned and managed by the Creative Arts Committee, which currently consists of faculty from Liberal Arts, Design, and Electrical Engineering. These extremely popular courses are offered by reputed practising artists from India and abroad rather than full-time academics, so that students can have a hands-on encounter with the arts outside of typical textbook-oriented teaching and learning environments.
Currently, students choose from a wide range of 1-credit courses every semester, covering core areas like painting, sculpture, music, dance, theatre, photography, film-making, creative writing, and visual design. While CA courses are mandatory for undergraduates, other members of the IIT Hyderabad community-including students enrolled in Masters and Doctoral programmes, faculty, staff, and their families-frequently make use of their standing invitation to participate in these courses.
