A. Readings/Discussions
Lesson 1: PERIODS OF ANCIENT ART
Some evidences of the early civilization are bronze and copper statuettes and steatite
seals which show vigor and concern for surface texture as constantly characterized in
Indian art. The Ajanta Caves of Maharashtra, India are 30 rock-cut cave monuments that
nd
date back from the 2 century BCE to the 600 CE, including paintings and sculptures
considered to be masterpieces of Buddhist religious art, as well as frescos that are
reminiscent of the Sigiriya paintings in Sri Lanka.
1
Classical Period
The image of Shiva, the destroyer, develops into Shiva, the Cosmic-dancer represented
by a four armed figure. In this figure, one hand holds the fire with which he destroys,
another holds a drum, which is the first sound heard in the world during creation, then the
third arm points up in a reassuring gesture, and a fourth arm points down to the dwarf in
which he dances to.
Islamic Ascendancy or Transitional Period

This was the period of evolution from Vedism into Hinduism or Brahmanism. The two
great Indian epics: the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, emerged in this period.
Mogul Period
Moguls contributed to the enrichment of Indian culture in painting and in architecture.

The most splendid example is the Taj Majal built in 1632 by Shah Jahan in memory of his
wife.
Diwali is celebrated by Hindus in India and all around the world in October or
November. It is the Hindu New Year and is either a 3 – day or 5 – day holiday depending
on where you come from. It is a very exciting and colourful holiday, where homes are
cleaned to welcome the New Year and windows are opened so that the Hindu goddess of
wealth, Lakshmi, can enter. Hindus believe that she cannot enter a house which is not lit
up, so every household burns special Diwali clay lamps (diyas) to light the way for the
goddess. This is why the holiday is also known as the “Festival of Lights
son 2: RANGOLI
Rangoli is one of the most beautiful and most pleasing art forms of India. It comes from
the words “rang” meaning color and “aavalli” meaning colored creepers or row of colors.
Rangoli is the art of making designs or patterns on the walls or the floor of the house using
finely ground white powder along with different colors. The traditional form of rangoli
made use of designs and motifs based on nature, such as mangoes, creepers, flowers,
swans, peacocks, etc. Even the colors in the traditional art form were extracted from
natural dyes, like barks of trees, leaves, indigo plant, etc. These days, synthetic dyes have
more or less replaced the natural dyes of the earlier times.
The materials used in the rangoli patterns of today give either a very flat appearance or a 3-
D effect. Rangoli designs include geometric patterns, the swastika, lotus, trident, fish, conch,
creepers, leaves, trees, flowers.
LESSON 3: PAKISTAN
Pakistani architecture is divided into four recognized periods:
• Pre – Islamic
• Islamic
• Colonial
• Post – Colonial
Mohenjo Daro
rd
Around the middle of the 3 millennium BCE, an advanced urban culture developed for
the first time in the region. Large buildings were built some of which still survive to this
day like Mohenjo Daro, Harappa, and Kot Diji are among the pre – Islamic settlements that
are now tourist attractions.
Kot Diji
Across Pakistan, brightly colored flamboyant trucks painted with images of idealized
landscapes, famous personalities, flowers, and trees turned village lanes, city streets, and
long – distance highways into a gallery without walls; a free-form, kaleidoscope exhibition
in motion. Other arts of Pakistan include painted chests and jars.
