Art and Design Courses, Hands-On

CEBU, Philippines - Edward de Bono, the father of lateral thinking, once said that creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. And for those who wish to let their creative minds fly, the need to break out of tradition is essential.

Creativity and passion grow only with a supportive push towards the right direction. But it is important to first find trustworthy experts to point the way. In Cebu City, the search is over.

The UV New School of Art and Design - or simply UVNS - is there to nurture budding design artists. Since its birth in 2012, UVNS has produced individuals who have since been ready-for-the-world in the field of art and design.

The school steers away from traditional teaching, and focuses on hands-on experience instead. There are no side subjects and no grading system that often only stress out the students. The only objective is the acquisition of actual skills.

As UVNS welcomes everyone to this education revolution, it now offers new programs such as Make-up Design, Interior/Space Design, Tourism Design and Branding, and also Startup Academy. The school also offers enhanced programs in Visual Design, Production Design, Communication Design, Music Design and Production, Photography, Fashion Immersion, Animation, Web Design and Social Advertising.

UVNS is located at the University of the Visayas Banilad campus. For those interested to enroll, a new schedule of classes starts on September 1, 2014. (FREEMAN)
