Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture

The Foundation Year Programme inculcates fundamental principles, concepts and attitudes within the students, which are integral throughout their academic life. The overall approach in the first year provides a demanding pace of work and discipline yet encouraging self-reliance, responsibility towards studies and an attitude of focused enquiry. The Foundation Programme, is an integrated programme dealing with fundamental issues relating to the studies of Art, Design and Architecture. It aims to heighten perceptions and build awareness through the introduction of concepts relating to visual creativity. The curriculum encourages critical thinking, individual development and personal direction whilst assuring exposure to numerous approaches, media, methods, techniques and processes. This is achieved through studio practice organized around projects that are integrated, sequential and gradually increase in complexity.
