Greetings!
Art is a universally accepted mode of expression which develops creativity, aesthetic sensibilities and sharpens senses through keen observation of the environment. Art is a way of discovering space, organization, colours, forms, lines, texture, movement; sound etc. A student develops a sense of organization which further inculcates a sense of order with regard to their personal appearance, home, school and community.
Central Board of Secondary Education recognizes that the significance of art lies beyond ‘useful hobbies’ and ‘leisure activities’ and therefore Art Education constitutes a crucial component of the school curriculum.
Schools are the reservoirs of creative talent, CBSE therefore invites young artists with talent from affiliated schools to participate and showcase their creativity through paintings. The Board will generate a pool of art works related to themes on education and use it appropriately.
