Hello,

The syllabus for the Chitrakala (Fine Arts) subject for CBSE Class 12 in 2024 consists of several key units that focus on painting, composition, and the study of art movements in India.

1. Nature and Object Study : This includes studying various objects and natural forms using pencil and color exercises. Students practice light, shade, and color techniques with objects and draperies in different colors for a full composition.

2. Painting Composition : Focuses on creating imaginative compositions based on life and nature. This requires the use of water or poster colors with proper attention to color values, creativity, and originality.

3. Portfolio Assessment : Students must submit a portfolio containing selected works from their nature studies, painting compositions, and at least one piece based on Indian folk art.

In addition to practical components, students study major art movements, including:

• Pahari, Mughal, Deccan, and Bengal Schools of Miniature Painting : Understanding the origin, development, and features of these schools is emphasized. The syllabus includes appreciation of key paintings from each school, such as works by Nainsukh and Ustad Mansoor.

• Modern Indian Art : This section covers modern trends and significant contributions by artists like Raja Ravi Varma and Amrita Sher-Gil.

These components culminate in both practical and theory examinations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both technical and historical aspects of Indian art.
