SYLLABUS

g l a
a
The visual arts consist of creative expression that considers innovation and individuality as its
primary determinants. Objects-of-art thus produced with great skill or accomplishment
invariably gains a degree of invested value that is culturally significant, which is why visual
art has also been known as fine arts. A range of disciplinary specialization in studio-practice
has led to sub-categories like drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design etc. which are
also medium specific categories within practice. In contemporary times visual art has moved

m
co
beyond the singular discipline towards multi-media expressions that have even significantly

.
transgressed the studio and gallery/museum as spaces and the market as its economic

s em
determinant. Thus, it now includes and incorporates the applied arts within it, while

g l a
photography and digital modes are integrated into its world of postmodern practice. On the

a
theoretical perspective, art history and criticism examines and analyses the past and present
developments and innovations, providing a contextual awareness to studio-practice about the
present and possible future(s). This syllabus thus integrates all of the above into a holistic
understanding of the discipline(s).
