HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The Challenges of Migrating from Conventional to Digital Arts the 21st Century in Nigeria’s Tertiary Institutions (1)

In 2015, Flinger Nose Comics Correspondence (FNC) http://flingernosecomics.blogspot.com, had an interactive session with Dr. Adeyemi (Ph.D, fsna), a visual artist, a critic, a lecturer, the director of Kunle Adeyemi studio and the current H.O.D of Graphics Department, Yaba College Of Technology, Nigeria’s premier tertiary institution. Our correspondents caught up with him and found out his opinion on the Theme:   The Challenges of Migrating from Conventional to Digital Arts the 21^st Century in our Tertiary Institutions. And despite his busy schedule, he still made out some time out for us. This interview is posted once again. Please read on.

FNC:  Sir, it is no news that the Yaba College of Technology, YCT, was founded during the colonial era. And some of the college’s legacy still stands on today; one, being one of the foremost places of studying Arts. The school had produced countless numbers of renowned artists within and beyond of the shores of the country. People like Prof Yussuf Grillo, Dele Jegede, Jossy Ajiboye, and Bruce Onabrakpraye to mention a few. Some had made indelible marks in the fields of painting, Graphics, sculpting and other forms of visual arts.  Without under estimating the need for a proper foundation in  any of these Arts divisions, today there seem to be a paradigm shift in the way Art is done all over the world. Art as we know is always evolving and as we can see, most modern arts are digitally handled today in today’s corporate world. In the areas of advertisement and entertainment alone, millions of virtually created imageries are projected every minute either on the internet or on the TV. And that is why the power of the modern day computational devices cannot be overemphasized. But it is also noticed that out of all the various Departments in the School of Art, Design & Printing at Yaba College of Technology, it is only the Graphic Design Department that is encouraging its students to make a little bit use of the Computer technology for carrying out their assignments.

Now as an instructor, a pioneer in the field and the current HOD, do you think that Art curriculum in our tertiary institutions in general is adequate enough to prepare our student’s for the Modern day digital Art challenges out there after graduation?
