3. Art is the expression of human creative skill and imagination, in visual form such as
painting or sculpture, in auditory form and performing art work expressing the
author’s imaginative powers.
Acc. to Rabindranath Tagore, “Art is the expression of human experiences”.

appreciation of art, beauty and good taste. It is derived from Greek word,
“aisthetikos”, meaning of sense perception.

Correlation with
other Subjects
When we add a
visual form with
any theoretical
subject or topic,
it becomes very
interesting.
If we show the
pictures of a
story to the
children it will
have more
effect on them.
With pictorial
representation,
learning power
will increase.
On the basis of
art, this
practical ability
can be
developed in
the students.
Practical work
and skill is very
much
important in
the field of
education. We
can develop
the hidden
talent of the
students with
the help of this
skill.
Art helps in the
aesthetic
development of
a person and
along with
aesthetic
sense, self
expression and
the Rasa
(feeling of
beauty) is also
developed.
With the help of
art a person is
able to
appreciate and
criticize a work
of art.
We can motivate
the learning
power of the
students and
make the
understanding
level higher by
correlating the
two or more
subjects with
each other. This
will save the time
of the teacher as
he can teach two
subjects in one
period

5. When art is
correlated with
other subjects,
two or more
subjects may be
taught
collectively and
the time of both
teacher and the
students can be
saved.
Secondly when
the topic is
taught with
audio-visual
aids, students
take more
interest and
they learn more
in less time.
Art itself
depends on
creativity. It
also gives
opportunity to
create new
things. It
develops
creative
emotions in the
minds of the
children. For
example, in a
class if we give
a topic to the
students to
make a poster
on drug
addiction, no
two ideas will
be the same.
Art is the basis
of all audio-
visual aids.
Because only
with the help of
art (drawing)
we can draw
and paint a
picture or we
can make a
model. These
audio-visual
aids help the
students to
clear those
facts and
concepts which
are not clear to
them.
It develops
imagination
power, learning
power,
observation
power and
quality of
comparison. All
these powers
are very much
useful for a
person in his
life. When a
person
develops with
these mental
developments,
he tries to use it
with his hands.

6. By
concentrating
on the things to
be drawn, one
can apply it in
his work of art.
Without
concentration
there will be no
imagination and
without
imagination we
will not be able
to create a thing
and we cannot
apply it in our
work of art.
When an artist
looks at a scene
in the nature he
tries to keep it in
his mind. As
Keats says, “A
thing of beauty
is joy forever”.
To make this joy
forever, it is very
essential to
memorize that
scene. Then
only the
memory of a
thing will live
forever in his
mind if he tries
to memorize it.
It is the best
way to express
one’s views ,
ideas, emotions
and expression.
It gives
pleasure and
relaxes the
man’s mind. It
helps
economically
as a man can
earn his living
by adopting art
as a profession.
It develops in a
person all the
moral qualities
e.g. patience,
endurance,
First of all
anyone who is
willing to make
a painting, a
sketch, a
portrait, a still
life or a
composition, he
has to observe
the
surroundings
and
environment to
get the idea for
his drawing or
sketching.
Secondly he
has to set in his
mind these
ideas. Only
then he will be
able to imagine

7. Art helps the
students to
relieve to a
great extent
from the burden
of theoretical
tyranny of
purely
academic and
theoretical
instructions. It
creates balance
between
intellectual and
practical
experience.
Art makes a
person socially
reliable and self-
dependent. In
the realm of art,
the manual work
is of great
importance but
in society it was
seen as a
degraded job.
Art makes the
person lenient.
It creates in a
persona sense
of satisfaction.
He develops
the qualities of
patience,
because he do
his work with
great ease and
comfort.
Art is a skill and
the applied arts
need a great
intellect. To
create pleasing
forms, like
pottery, manual
works like
embroidery etc.
all need a great
intellect.

8. Aims and Objectives of Arts in Education
1) Increased Engagement
Unlike textbook learning, which can get monotonous and routine, art in
education engages learners in new ways. Whether they are observing a drawing
or creating one of their own, they required to be fully immersed in the activity.
2) Improved Quality of Learning
As the children are more engaged, it has a positive impact on the quality of
learning. Because of greater participation, the learner’s remain in the minds of
the children long after they exit the classroom.
3) Boost Creativity
To succeed in today’s times, creativity is must have skill. Not all kids are inclined
towards art. For those who are not interested in art, integration of art into
learning can be a good introduction to creativity.
4) Increased Confidence
Creating a piece of art, even if it’s simple drawing, gives a sense of fulfilment
and achievement. Thus integrating art into learning reduces the fear of failure
among kids and encourages them to take more risks.

5) Development of Motor skills
Simple things like holding a paint brush and scribbling with crayon in classroom
are an important element to developing a child’s fine motor skills. Around age 4,
children may be able to draw a square and begin cutting straight lines with
scissors.
6) Enhance Visual Learning
Drawing, painting and sculpting help[ to develop visual spatial skills among
students. Art in education teaches students how to interpret, criticize and use
visual information.
7) Promotes Decision Making
Arts strengthen problem solving and critical thinking skills. How do I express this
feeling through my dance? How should I play this character?
8) Teach Perseverance
After practicing hard to do, students learn that hard work and perseverance pays
off. This mind set will certainly matter as they grow, esp. during their careers.
9) Improves Focus
As you persevere through painting or singing or learning a part in a play, focus is
imperative. And certainly focus is vital for studying and learning in class.

10. 10)Creates Collaboration
Many of the arts such as band, choir and theatre, require kids to work
together. They must share responsibility and compromise to achieve their
common goals.
11)Value of Accountability
Just like collaboration, kids in the art learn that they are accountable for their
contributions to the group. Mistakes are the part of life, and learning to accept
them, fix them and move on will serve kids well as they grow older.
12)Promotes Personal Development
Students pick up important life skills from art in education, such as better
memory, enhanced understanding and an ability to communicate symbolically.
13)Cognitive Stimulation
Art in education has been linked to advanced cognitive development in
children. In a 1998 report, “young Children and the Arts: making creative
connections”, researchers found that art in education can contribute
significantly to a child’s cognitive, language and motor skills.
14)Personal Profile and Growth
Varied options of profession are taught in schools starting from kindergarten,
