QUALITY DESIGN EDUCATION IN MILAN
NABA is an Academy of Arts and Design which was established in 1980 by a group of artists, among whom Guido Ballo, Gianni Colombo, Lucio Del Pezzo, Emilio Isgrò, Tito Varisco, Luigi Veronesi, who aimed at challenging the rigid academic tradition by introducing new visions and languages closer to contemporary artistic practice and the creative professions.
NABA education integrates the more traditional disciplines of visual representation with the new digital technologies and the critical-project culture of Italian Design.
The foundation of NABA educational philosophy lies in applying art to a project, in synthesizing creative and practical abilities and in reaching a perfect balance between critical methodological and technical-manual knowledge.
NABA training programs are based on a cross-disciplinary method aimed at developing artistic-professional skills and profiles in the fields of art, design, fashion, media and graphic design.
This approach derives from continuous experimentation, a strong vocation for research, a close relationship with the artistic and productive environment and a focus on the ethical dimension of education.
2009 SUMMER SESSION
NABA offers a wide choice of Summer Courses: Introduction, Intermediate (Studio Level) and Advanced Level courses.
The Summer Courses propose a wide and updated synthesis of NABA know-how, giving a view of the most significant trends of the market, of industrial creation processes, of artistic and social expression, of Design, Fashion, Graphic and Communication, together with the opportunity to experiment a topical project theme, under the guidance of renowned professionals and in cooperation with big companies.
Introduction Level Courses are intended for students without academic background on a specific subject area and offer a unique opportunity to explore a new creative environment. Students will learn from experienced and skilled professionals and will be taught how to research and present a creative idea. These courses will concentrate on experimentation within the creative design process.
Intermediate Level courses meet the needs of students with previous knowledge in that specific subject area who are keen on building upon this through an intensive and specialised training experience. Students will be immersed in a design environment simulating a professional studio, gaining profound insight into the technical components of the design process.
Advanced Level Courses are developed in collaboration with Accademia Teatro alla Scala and are intended for students attending their last years of University in the specific subject areas dealt with in the summer courses and for professionals in those specific fields who want to make a hands-on training experience in Italy.
Selected visits to museums, companies, production sites and design studios during the programs expose students to the creative and cultural environment in Italy.
