The objective of including the history of Indian Art for the students is to
familiarise them with the various styles and modes of art expressions from
different parts of India. This would enrich their vision and enable them to
appreciate and develop an aesthetic sensibility to enjoy the beauty of nature
and life. The students will also have an opportunity to observe and study the
evolution of its mutations and synthesis with other style and the rise of an
altogether new style. The students should be made aware of art as a human
experience. The teachers should be able to expose them to the wide range of
artistic impressions, the media and the tools used. The history of Indian art is a
long one. Hence the students would be acquainted with brief glimpses of the
development of Indian visual art as are required for concept formation.
Examples included in the course of study are selected because of their
aesthetic qualities and are intended purely as guidelines
