Description:
Art education in CBSE plays a vital role in the curriculum. It aims to nurture students’ creativity, imagination, and ability to express themselves. Additionally, it enhances their critical thinking skills and fosters an appreciation for art and cultural heritage.
Art education is a mandatory part of the curriculum for all CBSE students up to Class X.
Art-integration is a cross-curricular pedagogical approach that utilizes various aspects and forms of art and culture as the basis for learning of concepts across subjects. As a part of the thrust on experiential learning, art-integrated education will be embedded in classroom transactions not only for creating joyful classrooms, but also for imbibing the Indian ethos through integration of Indian art and culture in the teaching and learning process at every level. This art-integrated approach will strengthen the linkages between education and culture.
The National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage 2022 recommends in the para 1.4.3 that: “Children express themselves, imagine, and create without any inhibition through the arts. The open-endedness and playful qualities of the arts encourage self-expression, intuition, reasoning, imagination, and communication. Children need to be supported with ideas and opportunities to draw, paint, print, create collages, construct structures with blocks. Children also love moving, dancing, exploring, and improvising with their bodies and playing musical instruments states.
As a part of Art Integrated project & Art Integrated Learning our students prepared projects with the assigned paired state for Karnataka with Ladakh. This gave our students the opportunity to familiarize with culture, tradition and geography of more States and UTs as envisaged in the Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat Programme (EBSB).
