The Society for Cultural Education believes that the liberal arts education offers something substantial and profound to the life of the student. Keeping this in view, the Society supports IAC to equip students with the skills required to question critically, think logically, communicate clearly, act creatively, and live ethically. We are dedicated to promoting cutting-edge arts education, focusing on cultural and linguistic diversity, and research that helps people better understand human history and connections, society, art and culture.

The many years of effort have materialized into the establishment of the Institute for Art and Culture which has a state-of-the-art infrastructure, picturesque and inspiring setting and a devoted team of faculty members and administrators. The learning ambience at the Institute is perfectly suited for personal growth and academic excellence. As Chairman of the Society for Cultural Education, I believe that art is a fundamental force in national and international culture. In establishing IAC, we believe that everyone has the potential to be creative, and gain pleasure from the arts. Hence it is our fundamental belief that everyone needs an arts education.

PROSPECTUS 201907

WELCOME TO IACWelcome to your new place of learning, which is both exciting and challenging. We believe that today’s education has to prepare you for the times to come. You will learn the values of your past and prepare for the ever-changing future. In the world of tomorrow, science will be inspired by art to further expand the human envelope of knowledge. There will emerge a new culture based on art, in its widest range and meaning. The Institute for Art and Culture is the harbinger of that tomorrow.

Curiosity and Creativity are the two human attributes that have propelled civilization over the last many centuries. We are born with them but the present education system discourages questions and creativity. IAC is dedicated to reverse that. The primary objective of the IAC is to promote Creativity and Curiosity as they challenge the old education of rote learning, which dulls the mind and kills initiative. Through this new pedagogy, combining theory and practice, our students innovate a new world of opportunity. Knowledge based on Curiosity and Creativity opens new doors to the world of tomorrow. Come join us to create an integrated world of arts and science that, together, serve humanity.

FOUNDING PHILOSOPHYThe founding philosophy and ethos of the IAC are drawn from the following realities:

Culture is a set of beliefs and practices that animates, sustains and binds a people, thereby defining identity. Although the past is our bedrock, it must continuously evolve.

The human mind is a conscious set of cognitive faculties that process, reason and perceive in a holistic framework. The integrative process of thinking, wanting and feeling, leads to the creation of objects of beauty, which might or might not be of any formal use. This experiential awareness is the basis of all artistic creations.

Art provides multiplicity of views that enhance self-reflection, communication and visual literacy. This increased sense of empathy, in turn, develops a tolerance towards the ‘other’, the ‘different’ and the ‘outsider’.

Culture impacts the individuals and decision-making processes in a society. It has the potential to bridge our worlds, connect and inspire communities, provide skills for development and essentially advocate change.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This liberal arts education platform will not only impact the education sector in Pakistan but also reach out to the neighboring countries and contribute towards global scholarship. IAC highly values the traditional knowledge of our people and seeks to contemporize it with input from the latest technological knowledge. IAC believes in integration with community, building long-term industrial linkages and National and International partnerships. By incorporating a tri-lingual approach, which includes English, Urdu and Punjabi, the students recognize culture and art education not as a foreign stimulus but the one they are inherently connected with.

For instance, if a student takes admission in a degree course, she/he will pay the tuition fee for the core courses and the electives. Some courses cost less than the others so she/he can choose, in consultation with the Degree Incharge, what courses she/he can take for a particular summer and only pay for that. The courses can vary from semester to semester depending upon a student’s financial situation. If an applicant wants to take only one course she/he can do so and obtain a certificate for having passed that course. She/he would pay tuition fee for that course alone.

2. Empowering the Kalasha Communities through Safeguarding their Intangible Cultural Heritage – August 2016 - April 2017

The purpose of this project was to Safeguard the Kalasha Cultural Heritage, promote cultural diversity, religious plurality, & communal harmony. This research project was carried out under THAAP and Institute for Art & Culture (IAC) in collaboration with UNESCO and was funded by Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, the Embassy of Switzerland.

The Kalasha people are one of the smallest religious minorities of Pakistan, numbering nearly 4200 people. They dwell in the Mumuret, Biriu, and Rukmu valleys (District Chitral, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa). The highly capable faculty of the SCL carried out research and documentation of their cultural practices using Community Based Inventorying (CBI). Frequent complaints and repeated demands of Kalasha community members over cases of past misrepresentation prompted this project. The transmission of the Kalasha heritage relies heavily upon oral traditions, with little to no present documentation carried out in collaboration with community members.

Fieldwork was carried out in the Kalasha Bumburet (Mumuret), Birir (Biriu) , and Rumbur (Rukmu) valleys for a combined period of 87 days and research and dissemination methodology was established to bring forth the insiders perspective of Kalasha culture, which resulted in the formation of the first ever Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Inventory of Pakistan. Submission of “Suri Jagek: The Kalasha Meteorological and Astronomical Practice of Observing the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Shadows” on UNESCO’s list of ICH in Need of Urgent Safeguarding was accepted unanimously, a great success for IAC!

EXAMINATION AND ASSESSMENT The assessment activities in any educational program/institution are a fundamental instrument to promote learning. The development and implementation of assessment activities is an ongoing process contributing to preserve scholarly values and foster curiosity, experimentation, creativity, critical appreciation and integrity.

The assessment procedure at the Institute for Art and Culture is designed to allow the students sufficient time to complete the task and is inclusive and equitable. It is aligned to and consistent with the aims, desired learning outcomes and program activities of the course. The assessment will provide appropriate number of assessable tasks in a range of formats that are consistent with appropriate learning experiences to evaluate students’ progress. Appropriate weightage will be given to different segments of assessment according to the specific learning outcomes of the course.

Institute for Art and Culture will implement the semester system of education and assessment adhering to the guidelines issued by the HEC. The guidelines of the semester system and regulations of examinations are as given below:

REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE (UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM)

55PROSPECTUS 2019

point average on a scale of 1 - 4

Equivalence between letter grading and Numerical grading

The grade point average (GPA) shall be computed at the completion of the semester for all the courses completed at the Institute. The GPA shall be computed by multiplying the number of credit hours of each course by the grade points assigned to the letter grade earned in respective course, then dividing the sum of these several products by the total number of credit hours in which the student was enrolled. The student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) shall be computed by multiplying the number of credit hours of each course by the numeric value assigned to that grade; then dividing the sum of all courses by the total number of credit hours of each course in which the student was enrolled.

In certain cases, the student may receive the following grades which carry no numerical value and shall therefore, not be calculated into semester or cumulative grade point average:

I – incomplete The teacher may award an “I” grade to student who was unable to complete the course during the semester due to any acceptable reasons or any other justifiable unavoidable circumstances. The “I” grade only indicates a deferred grade and shall be changed to a grade other than “I”. The faculty in consultation with the Dean/ Academic Coordinator of the School shall allow the student to complete the assigned work within specified deadline for assessment.

Formative assessment is commonly referred to as assessment for learning in which the focus is on monitoring student response to and progress with instruction. Formative assessment provides immediate feedback to both the teacher and student regarding the learning process. The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Quizzes 5 % In summative assessment the focus is on determining what the student has learned at the end of a unit of instruction or at the end of a grade level. Summative assessment helps determine the extent to which the instructional and learning goals have been met. The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.

As stated the students shall be assessed under the semester system. In each semester the students shall be required to appear in quizzes, mid semester and final examinations,

61PROSPECTUS 2019

presentations at group or individual level, participation in group discussions and submit assigned class projects and assignments. The assessment marks will have different weightage contributing towards the overall assessment in percent marks. The weightage is determined as under:

NATURE OF EVALUATION WEIGHTAGE KEY Quizzes 5 % Mid-Semester Examinations 20% Assignments/Presentations 25% Final Examinations 50%

The examinations shall be evaluated by the class incharge or the tutor of the subject. The Studio project undertaken as class work shall also be evaluated by the teacher incharge. However, the mid semester and final examinations in studio subjects shall be evaluated by external jurors.
