Bachelor of Fine Arts

The experience of art is a way of enriching the quality of human experience. It requires
an intensity of interest in the creative faculties of human life, as well as an awareness of the
surrounding social milieu. Any creative person and practicing artist needs knowledge of
past/historical achievements, awareness of present/contemporary challenges, and an inkling of
future/unseen possibilities in the realm of art; as well as refinement of taste, building up criteria,
and decision about values. It is essential to put in hard work, rigorous practice, and lots of
reading/listening/seeing. A dedicatedly professional approach is needed to pursue the arts. The
artist of the next generation shall be a product of university education rather than of the self taught kind; although the Ekalavya spirit has to be nurtured too, as over institutionalized
education can be stifling.
The Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) for BFA (Painting,
Applied Arts, and Sculpture, etc) and BPA (Music, Dance, and Theatre) 4-year degree programs
are designed to make the education of the arts more specific and systematic and on par with
professional courses, as well as to revitalize existing courses in various institutions and open up
areas of non-developed possibilities.
