๐Ÿ“ Kuala Lumpur
(DASEIN: Daโ€ขza-in) Art & design college with more than 30 years of producing some of the industryโ€™s top animators, designers and artists.
๐ŸŽ“ Diploma and Certificate programmes. 'Dasein'('da : za-in), a connotation derived from German philosophy, has timelessly inspired philosophers, artists, writers, and creative thinkers alike to discover and redefine one's true being and existence. With that ideal in mind, Dasein Academy of Art was established in 1996 by a team of avid educators and professionals from the art and design industry, Aspired to revive the role of art education from stereotyped qualifications back to the cultivation of individual distinction, a future generation dedicated to the creative and cultural development for personal enrichment was formed. Throughout the years, Dasein Academy of Art has built a high quality education hub for the arts, where students are trained with the competency to excel in both local and global creative domain. A quote by Enrich Fromm, "People are born equal, but they are also born different", has since become the academic hallmark of Dasein Academy of Art; whereby the craft of imaginations about training the creative minds of individual talents; for great artist bear the timeless imprint of identity in his or her masterpieces. Driven by this ingenuity, Dasein believes that the education for art and design is more than just a mere skill or job market-oriented curriculum. After all, it is through the path of creative thinking and aesthetic learning that one discovers the beauty of one's existences; and that, is a fulfillment of a lifetime.

When creativity meets conservation ๐Ÿฏ๐ŸŽจ

As part of Maybank Groupโ€™s Global CR Day, โ€œArt For The Everlasting Roarโ€ brought them to Dasein Academy of Art for a hands-on experience, designed to build a personal connection with the Malayan Tiger conservation cause.

From creating light-casted cyanotype designs, to painting roarsome tote bags and bringing mini tiger sculptures to life, participants explored their creativity while learning more about the species weโ€™re working to protect. ๐ŸŒฟ

It was a day of collaboration and purpose - showing how art can help turn awareness into meaningful action.

To everyone who put their best paw forward to the cause, well done! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ’›

At Dasein, students showcase and present their work every semester โ€” building confidence, resilience, creative thinking, and communication skills along the way.

Because when you have the opportunity to pursue what you truly want, that itself is something meaningful.

Find your ideas. Build your confidence. Leave something meaningful behind. ๐ŸŒŽโœจ

You gain confidence.
You learn to share your ideas.
You learn to believe in what you create.

At Dasein, we believe every student deserves a space to show up, speak up, and be seen.

Every student is different. So their learning should be too.

We look beyond technical skills. We help students improve their observation, thinking, confidence, and mindset through personalised guidance.

Because sometimes, the key to better work isnโ€™t just learning how to do it โ€” itโ€™s learning how to see, think, and believe in yourself.

Education is more than just teaching.

After 20 years of exploration, Dasein developed Edu-Mentoring โ€” a system designed to nurture every student as an individual.

Our approach has three pillars:

๐„๐๐ฎ-๐‚๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐œ โ€” understanding and developing each studentโ€™s skills and mindset.
๐„๐๐ฎ-๐‹๐š๐› โ€” broadening their perspectives through new ideas, techniques, and experiences.
๐„๐๐ฎ-๐’๐จ๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ โ€” encouraging students to create meaningful value through their work.

Because every student is different.

So why should we teach them all the same way?

How did Dasein begin?

From just 6 students and a lot of determination.

The journey started with a simple belief: education should never be taken lightly, and creativity deserves to be nurtured.

From a small training centre to the academy we are today โ€” it all started with one shared vision.

This is the story of Dasein. โœจ
