Course Duration & Purpose of Art Classes for School Students – Age 12+ to 17+ years – 150 weeks program (3 years).

The same course is available in both Classroom & Online Mode for School Students of this age group. The following syllabus and course duration shall be followed.

As per National Education Policy 2020 – Education is being integrated with Art – 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 the 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. NEP 2020 envisions art as a means to enhance learning experiences, connect students with Indian culture, and develop essential 21st-century skills.

The course in Painting at Second phase of Secondary stage as an elective subject is aimed to develop aesthetic sense of the students through the understanding of various important well-known aspects and modes of visual art expression in India’s rich cultural heritage from the period of pre-Historic times to the present time. It also encompasses practical exercises in drawing and painting to develop their mental faculties of observation, imagination, creation and physical skills required for expressions and aesthetic appreciation of art.

At Anthelion School of Art, we have designed a systematic and structured course – named “Intermediate Diploma in Fine Arts” – for school students of age 12+ to 17+ years in both Classroom & Online format, covering the syllabus of both CBSE & ICSE (including ISC) boards. It is designed not only to cover the syllabus of the respective boards but also strengthen the Fine Arts Skills & Knowledge in such a way that the students can utilize this course as preparation for Art Colleges, Design Colleges and Fashion or Animation & Film Making courses thereafter.

Objectives

Practical Objective:

• To develop skill of using drawing and painting material (surface, tools equipment and techniques etc.) effectively.
• To sharpen their observation skills through study of common objects and various geometrical and non-geometrical forms found in life and nature.
• To develop their skills to draw and paint these
• To develop an understanding of painting-composition (The use of the elements and the principles of painting-composition).
• To create the forms and the colour schemes in imagination with an ability to express them effectively in drawing and painting.
• To express the different feelings and Emotions of life and nature in lines, forms and colours.
• To develop aesthetic sensibility and skill

Theory (History of Indian Art) Objective:

The objective of including the history of Indian Art for the students is to familiarize 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 and technique used. The history of Indian art is vast; hence the students should be made well acquainted with brief glimpses of the development of Indian visual art that are required for concept formation. Examples included in their course of study are selected for their aesthetic qualities and artistic relevance that are intended purely as guidelines.

May not be in exactly same order, but definitely most or all of these following questions are something that is in your mind and so are our answers with them –

      1. What is this school all about?

This is a school of fine arts (painting) where we are trying to impart the authentic art education as covered in the best Art Colleges in India and the world (only the coverage of painting department), especially in the bachelor’s degree.

We are just trying to ensure that the same coverage and same quality of Art Education is imparted to our students of any age and capability, but at their own convenience.

      2. Where is it located?

We are located in South Kolkata between South City Mall and Jadavpur Thana (Police Station) in Prince Anwar Shah Road. This area is called Poddar Nagar. Nearest metro is Ravindrasarovar and bus stop is “EDF More”. You can get one auto from Ravindrasarovar metro to EDF More, from where you can walk down to our school.

We teach painting to people of all ages, if needed from how to hold the pencil or even if you complete a degree course you can come and learn further.

We have students who may be a professional, service person, retired, homemaker, student, businessman/woman or a full-time artist or art aspirant. We develop every individual’s road-map of learning as per their individual situations.

But the bottom-line is – we teach painting to people in the most authentic and professional manner. We also help them to take their work to their audience – by promoting good artworks digitally along with the artists, through our Exhibitions and Workshops. Our students get lots of invitations from other groups, organizations and galleries to participate in various events.

Yes – We have very customized Crash Courses designed for your needs. In this you don’t have to pay Admission Fees. You buy classes in packages / sets and undertake them as early as possible as per your availability.

      9. How much time does it take to complete this course?

For General Diploma, total duration is in the hands of the students. Since we have students of different age and backgrounds, how much time one can commit for practice or how much is your adoptive power is not known to us. So, we cannot generalize the total time in batches. Hence, everyone’s journey here is unique and separate and you may complete the course in your pace. When you and your teacher feel you are ready, you apply for the exam and we take your exam. We normally advice you complete 200 classes before you decide to go for exam.

For Professional Diploma Program we complete the course in Three years. For Professional Diploma (superfast program), we complete the course in One Year time (if you don’t take a break). Both of these Professional Diploma are available in both Classroom & Online format.

     10. How is this school better that others? Or what is special about this school?

This is a difficult question to answer, especially when we are not exactly aware of your needs and the exact value proposition of other institutes in Kolkata / India. So, we will say what is special about us and we leave it to you to decide whether that makes us better or worse.

First thing is we have students from age of 8 to 80.

Second is we give personal customized attention to all, within the class size of about 10. Your journey is only yours and it really does not matter what the person next to you is doings.

Third is you join at any stage of your ability to paint. You may start form how to hold your pencil or you may have completed a degree course and still start learning.

Fourth is we just don’t do copy painting. You not only see a painting and make your artwork, but also you do study – still life, outdoors & live models and you also focus on learning how to create compositions from your mind.

Fifth is we try to make things flexible with your available time, within the limits of our business structure running smoothly.

Sixth is we not only just teach in classes, we also organize workshops, exhibition and other interesting events where you learn, enjoy, enrich yourself and also showcase your talent and skill to others, you get the opportunity to meet other senior artists and art-patrons and build your relationships from there. We basically provide you a launching pad for the Professional Art World.

Seventh is our teachers are not only good artist of national (and sometimes international) fame but also good art teachers. It’s not necessary that a Good Student be a Good Teacher. We have tried our best get good Artist Teachers.

So far these are our USPs that we could enlist, and we hope this will give you the understanding of our standing.

     11. Do they provide any certificate?

Yes – once a student and his/her teachers feel they are ready (i.e. the first 8 modules of our course are finished), then he/she may apply for an exam. We shall conduct a customized exam for the student. On qualifying this exam, the student may proceed to module 9 – stylization, in which the student will have to develop 10 artworks in his/her own style. After that comes the 10^th module – which is the project. On completion of the project we shall conduct a Viva and finally provide “Diploma in Fine Arts”, from Anthelion School of Art.

We don’t have any connection with any Board, Society, University or Parishad.

     12. Is there any value of their certificate?

As an institution we started in May 2017. So, we clearly don’t claim any tall things about the value of our certificate. Our certificates have been used by students to apply for international studies, get jobs in schools and other institutions, apply for Montessori courses, and by the way it is also used by students to open their own schools to certain extent.

So, the more our students perform, the more will its value grow. But we would rather put it this way – if you want a valuable certificate, we are probably not the best place today. If you want to learn – deep and authentic, you may please come to us.

     13. Who are the mentors and what are their credibility?

Our mentors are professional and senior (and junior) artists from Kolkata (east) region who have bachelor’s and/or master’s degree from best art colleges in India along with multiple experiences of national or internationals Art Exhibitions and Workshops. They are good artists as well as good teachers. The list of the artists and their achievements is available in the Home Page.

     14. Other that just teaching, do they conduct any other events – like workshop, exhibitions etc?

Yes – we do organise interesting and challenging workshops (4-6 per year) and Exhibitions (2-3 per year) in different occasion or formats. Our students are always given a bigger and better challenge every time to inculcate more skills and maturity in their artwork and new networking opportunity with Art Industry seniors through our events.

     15. Do they help sell our Artworks?

We try but so far, we have not been much successful in this endeavour. We expect to be able to develop better connections with buyers, dealers and industry people in near future.

     16. After learning are there any prospect in Fine Art, especially from this school?

Well, Fine Arts is not an educational sector that attracts Campus Placements like engineering or MBA. But it has its own set of opportunities and prospects. So, first it is important to understand the Career Opportunities in Fine Arts. A fine artist normally may engage in any or all the following activities –

• Painting as one’s heart wishes, Exhibition & Selling – An artist may Paint to just satisfy his/her heart and then exhibit them. It may result into sales.
• Commission Art – An artist may be asked to make a specific type of painting on request by a client on payment.
• Illustration & Art Direction – Mainly applicable in Print & Publishing Industry, an artist may be requested to develop illustration for stories / articles or the entire art design for the book or magazine or their covers.
• Contractual Consulting – For the fields of Films, Fashion / Interior Design, an artist may be consulted. In this case, knowledge of Painting, Sculpture, Installation etc all are required at once. In films one may needed as art director or for story-boarding.
• Projects – An artist may be engaged partly (as team member) or fully (solo) in a complete project – like Durga Puja or bigger projects.

So, it is important for an artist in their learning phase to develop one’s skill and imagination to the extent that they can utilize one or more of the career opportunities mentioned above.

Now we develop our students to be able to develop a complete mastery of the skill and imagination needed for above career prospects. Secondly, we organize events, exhibitions and workshops where they get complete experience of the above prospects. We have created linkups with other organizations who come with furthermore opportunities for our students to get into the professional art industry.

So, we have the right platform for you, if you want to first learn thoroughly then enter the professional art world. Our students get internships, workshops, exhibitions and projects from other bodies and art organizations. We get all the senior Artists, Dealers, Patrons into our events. So, it is up to the students how much they can utilize these connections and opportunities for their own benefits.

     17. Do they sell Art materials here?

Yes, we have all required Art Materials and stocks needed for Painting classes. And you get discounts as well. But it is not mandatory for you to buy from here. It is just for the sake of convenience of our students.

     18. Do they teach Sculpture, Metal, Clay, Wood or Textile based fine art courses? Are their Applied Art Courses here?

As of now we are sticking to Painting and application of Clay in Painting. Rest shall be introduced slowly and eventually.

Now, that we have enlisted all the major FAQs, we hope you have a clear understanding of what we are, what we offer, where we are, what are our costs and what are our benefits. If the information matches your requirement, then we suggest that you come and try our classes. Too much analysis always leads to paralysis. Hence see you soon.
