CBSE Class-10 Syllabus 2019-20 (Painting)

Syllabus :

"The secondary stage is apt for refining aesthetic sensibilities and promoting social values through projects on conservation of the natural and cultural heritage and through opportunities for studying Indian culture, working with artists/artisans of the community, organizing festivals and celebrations of the community at large, display of physical environment and surrounding landscape and their exploration; projects to promote creative expression and exhibition of works in visual and verbal forms" is one of the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework 2005.

This is the stage where students have already gained the skill of drawing and painting to an extent to create and communicate through simple images and colours. The focus of the painting curriculum should be to provide students with an opportunity to explore natural and man made objects, situations and subjects to learn about the elements and principles of painting while enjoying their creative expression through different mediums and 
techniques.
The course consists of (i) Painting theory and (ii) Painting practicals. Theory and Practice are co-related and complement each other by application of medium and technique. Theory can make students understand the medium they are practicing with all its beauty and meaning. Theory provides knowledge and enhances the value of the practical.
