ARTIST DONATELLO

BIOGRAPHY

In the work of the early Renaissance sculptor Donatello (born Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi) life seems to burst out of the metal and stone. His greatest masterpieces include the vigilant marble Saint George (ca. 1417) in the Orsanmichele msueum, Florence; the graceful figure of young David (ca. 1440); and the impressive bronze equestrian statue of Gattamelata (erected 1453) that harked back to ancient Roman art. Donatello’s use of sinuous forms, which encourages the eye to move around the figure, influenced generations of Italian sculptors, mostly notably Michelangelo, well into the 16th century.

Integrated B.Des and M.Des 5 year Course
The Industrial Design Centre at IIT Bombay launched a UG degree in design The Industrial Design Centre (IDC) at IIT, Bombay (IIT-B), will offer an undergraduate (UG) programme in design from the upcoming academic year. The move follows the launch of the National Initiative for Design Innovation by the ministry of human resource development last year to ensure maximum reach of design education and practice in the country, promote design innovation in all sectors and develop collaborative projects between institutions.

Students can opt for the standalone Bachelor of Design (BDes) spanning four years or the integrated dual MDes offered over five years. The BDes is meant to train students in product design, visual communication design, interaction design and animation design.

Informed B K Chakravarthy, head, IDC, "As we progress from a knowledge-driven economy towards a creative economy, design will play a crucial role in helping us address global needs. At IDC, we already offer MDes and PhD programmes, so adding a BDes enables us to make our offerings holistic in terms of student intake levels."
He elaborated, "During the first year, students would be trained in need finding and analysis. The focus will be on discovery and explorations. While the second year will train students in creativity and problem-solving focusing on concerns and sensitivity, the third year will stress on skills and media options and students will learn about collaborations and systems." At the end of the third year, BDes students will need to decide whether they intend to pursue the integrated MDes.

Chakravarthy added, "The course also has research modules in the fourth and fifth years (in the case of students pursuing the integrated MDes programmes)."

CEED 2014-2015

What is CEED ?

The Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED) is a joint entrance exam for post graduate studies in the field of technological design held annually jointly at all IITs and Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The examination is hosted by the Industrial Design Centre, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay on behalf of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India. It is a descriptive test covering a student's logical, creative, observation and drawing skills, tested in particular for admission to various design courses in the field of Product Design, Industrial Design, Visual Communication, Animation Graphic and, Vehicle Design and Mobility.

Eligibility: There is no bar to either the age of the candidate or the number of times a candidate can participate. The minimum academic qualification for appearing in the examination is a Bachelors degree in Design, Architecture, Fine Arts or Engineering from a recognized college or university of India. All qualified candidates with a valid CEED Examination score become eligible to apply for admission to various design programs under IITs and IISc. A valid CEED score does not, however, promise admission to the desired institute. Candidates are always required to appear a second test known as the Design Aptitude Test (DAT) followed by an interview prior to final selection by the respective institutes.

Examination Pattern
1. Part - A
2. Part - B
3. Interview

Part A is a preliminary screening test. There are about 50 questions in this part having negative marking. Correct answers carries +2.0 marks and wrong answers carries -0.5 marks (negative). All questions in this part checks general knowledge and awareness. Part B is evaluated for those candidates who are short listed in screening test (Part A). All question in this part examines the drawing and creative skills of the candidate. The first two parts is mandatory and the Interview is carried for those who clear both Part - A and Part - B.

Part - A Covers the following categories
1. Visual Communication - this includes Logo's, signage, advertising, packaging, fonts etc.

4. Automobile Design - that relates to Aesthetics, manufacturers and plants etc.
5. Digital (applied to almost all the fields) - which relates to Photography, color coding, displays, printing etc.
6. Observation and visualization (Basic designer skill) - something like Mirroring, textures, evolution (past to present), isometrics and geometry, tessellations, shadows and more.
7. Architecture - that covers Sculpture, monuments, materials etc.
8. General awareness - which includes Engineering ability, materials, culture of the country, famous personalities and their works, instruments, animals etc.

Part - B Comprises of the following categories
