Visit to National Art Gallery, Pragati Agnihotri Form Tutor 4B

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.
