Form 4 and 5’s visit to the
National Art Gallery on 22nd November was a really informative and exciting
one. They collected information on different Indian schools of art and painting
like Mysore, Tanjore paintings, miniature or Mughal painting etc. Since form 4
is doing Media as a unit, they could identify exhibitions as a medium to
display artwork and art as a medium to express.
Some famous artists like Jamini Roy, Amrita Sher-Gil, Rabindranath
Tagore were closely observed by students for the year of painting, medium used
and the emotions/mood of the work. A short briefing done by the art teachers-
Mr Pabitra and Ms. Kamalpreet before the trip gave their visit a direction and
purpose telling them what to look for and observe in detail.
