The Foundation Program at the School of Design in Basel, Switzerland is a fundamental education in art and design. It offers a number of interrelated, equally important courses. Subjects include drawing, color, three-dimensional studies, materials and tools, and exercises in form, aesthetics, and concepts, all of which are designed to promote optical and tactical sensitivity, formal perception, manual dexterity, and a clear understanding of creative processes and to clarify the students' individual talents. The program enables them to choose future professional training in graphic design, photography, typography, display design, goldsmithery, pottery, fine art, sculpture, and other related fields. To be admitted into the program, students must be at least 15 years old, pass an entrance examination, and attend all the classes. The one-year program includes 42 classroom hours per week. All classes are conducted at the school and are limited to a maximum of 24 students. Most of the faculty members are also professionals in their field, certified specialists who are active in visual, creative areas. Throughout the entire program, the teachers are available for individual or group consultation, which ensures that every student has an equal opportunity for a successful training. The teaching-learning process varies with each course. It can progress in several directions: linear, from simple to difficult principles; punctual, a collection of experiences derived from individual assignments; or complex, an analysis of variation sequences as an insight into the creative process. The current standards of the program are outlined in this series, and the working procedure is explained clearly and understandably in chronological sequence. In order to clarify the interrelationships among the courses, they are categorized according to the teaching-learning process involved. The entire visual-creative program is presented in four volumes, each of which is a complete unit in itself and provides an introduction, course descriptions, and detailed illustrations. The Foundation Program is based on an objective, developmental educational system over the past thirty years. It disregards fashionable vogues but allows enough freedom to integrate necessary innovations. It offers a model for all teachers, students, and administrators who are interested in a critical, investigatory approach.
