Creative senses need to be nurtured not murdered

Mr. Sayak Pal: Assistant Professor
Centre for Graphics and Social Media Communication Skills
Art is the primitive form of communication and expression as it exists even before the language came into form. History of art is ancient as it reflects anything and everything made by human with a significant visual impact for aesthetical or communicative purpose to express every form of emotion, ideas and thoughts. An artifact can be subject specific or be made out of nothing to justifying the desire of an artist which came as a form of emotion to break down the barrier of dilemma to establish the unidentified objective. A common definition of art can be “something that is created with imagination and skills which is beautiful and expresses important ideas or feeling” –Anonymous, but sometimes the art cannot be defined by a word as it is a form of expression which is only allowed to feel and rejuvenate. Art has many dimensions like fine art, visual art, decorative art, applied art, graphic art, doodling art, crafts, calligraphy, computer art, conceptual art, folk art and many more. The most fascinating factor is that each of these streams are different form one another but collide on an identical zone of dignity and creativity.

Art forms have changed over the years, kind of work could be found in the 16th century is different form the art of today. Over many years the work of different artist reflects their culture, tradition, rituals, customs, nature and each and every possible element around him. The evidence is prominent in all the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt, Claude Monet, Salvador Dali, Raphel, and many more artists where we can find the change in subjects and motives throughout the ages.


Probably, the most challenging job of an artist is to make his leaving out of his skills and art forms but with proper guidance and direction, those creative skills can be transformed into industry oriented skills, helping in spreading the art forms among a large number of people across the globe.

Advertising Creativity

Image
Nothing is more efficient than creative advertising NO wonder creative ads are far more appealing to people and undoubtedly they prompt them to buy products. Laboratory experiments have inferred that the creative messages get more attention and influence purchase behaviour but there is little research done on whether creative messages help increase sales revenue. At the same time there is no confusion on the fact that the   creativity matters and one can find numerous ads which are creative AND at the same time have motivated consumers to go out and buy the product.  Creativity is generally   defined as divergent thinking- ability to find the unusual, to tread the path untreated, to find a non obvious solution to a problem. All this applied to advertising would mean moving away from the obvious, focussing on uniqueness of ideas.May be thats why the creative people feel, behave, dream, think and work differentlyAND sometimes also appear a little different than the normal mar

Why Ad Filmmaking and Promo Filmmaking a good career option?

Image
Sabbir Hussain: Assistant Professor Centre for Animation and Promo Films It was a couple of months back that I met a fresh college graduate who does casual design work. He expressed his desire to pursue a career in filmmaking that involves the audio-visual medium. He was clearly not intrigued by mere static designs. He had a good sense of both design and art. I motivated him to pursue his dreams because a sense of design can go a long way in building up a career in advertising filmmaking, promo filmmaking and similar other marketing genres. A large chunk amongst us aspires to build conventional careers ignoring the huge opportunities in offbeat fields such as filmmaking. While feature films still constitute the bread and butter, there is always an option of creatively telling a story through ad films and promo films . These films mostly emphasize on being either emotionally engaging or funny or quirky while promoting a product or a service or an idea. The same idea works f
