Based on the given passage answer the following questions (Q. Nos. 9–12) :

Prehistoric Painting of India
Rock paintings or early Stone Age paintings are magical and unique. It was one
of the oldest forms of art history of human civilization in India that began in the
Paleolithic Period or old Stone Age, roughly 2·5 million years ago to 10000 BC.
In the Paleolithic Period, early humans lived in caves and used stone for hunting
birds and wild animals to save their lives. Early men then started painting and
drawing on the walls of caves during the Paleolithic era, some 40000 years ago.
Many paintings were found from the Mesolithic Period, around 12000 years ago
from the present time. That period was the earliest discovery of prehistoric art in
India.

Based on the given passage answer the following questions (Q. Nos. 17–20) :

Fresco and Tempera in Indian Art

In prehistoric times man was very dependent on nature. Rock paintings from
that period found worldwide show human figures hunting a beast, at war with
each other, carrying clubs and projectiles and celebrating a victory with dance
and animal figures in the movement. At that time, these paintings represent
animals as Gods. In India, prehistoric rock paintings came to light when
Archibald Carlleyle of the Archaeological Survey of India discovered rock
paintings which he thought dated from the Stone Age at Sohagihat in the
Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh in 1867 and 1868. These paintings today
provide an insight into the life of the people who painted them. In 1881,
J. Cockburn found fossilized rhinoceros’ bones in the valley of the Ken River in
the Mirzapur region as well as a painting of a rhinoceros hunted by three men
in a shelter near Roap Village. In 1924, Sir John Marshall, Rai Bahadur Daya
Ram Sahni, Madho Sarup Vats, Rakhal Das Banerji and E. J. H. Mackay led
excavations on the banks of the river Ravi and Indus, leading to the discovery
of civilization thousands of years old. The seals, coins, statuettes and
terracottas found at these sites have animal figures painted or carved.

Based on the given passage answer the following questions (Q. Nos. 7–10) :
Rajasthani painting flourished from 16th CAD to 19th CAD. It was inspired and
influenced by Jain manuscript painting of Gujarat. This painting style matured
during 17th CAD. Its popularity spread all over Rajasthan and attained the
appreciation of the common man and the royal court equally. Though the
technique and style remained basically the same as that of mural of the
classical period, but it borrowed few things from Mughal painting in the later
period.
Rajasthani painting can be divided in four groups as Rajasthani school,
Bundelkhand school, Pahari school and Sikh school. There are many centres
in these regions, which are famous for these miniature paintings. Some of these
centres are Jaipur, Mewar, Malwa, Nathdwara, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner,
Kota, Bundi, Kishengarh, etc.
Themes of these paintings are mainly Puranic or Epic. Krishna-Leela is the
most popular theme along with some stories of the Mahabharata and
Ramayana. Folklore of Rajasthan like Dhola Maru and Roopmati and
Baz Bahadur are also illustrated in these paintings.
Characteristic Features :
There is a lot of variety in the style of Rajasthani school in handling the natural
scene, architectural structure and human figures.
Faces are generally shown in profile. Both the male and female figures show
suppleness and emotion in their large eyes. The influence of the Mughal court
is very clear in the dress and costumes. Same influence is notable in the
drawings of building and palaces in these paintings during the later period.

Based on the given passage answer the following questions (Q. Nos. 11–15) :
Abanindranath Tagore, a member of famous Tagore family of Kolkata, wanted
to develop a form of art which could be identified as Indian art and at the same
time contemporary in style. His studio in the balcony of Tagores palace at
Jorasanko became a centre of this art movement and around him gradually
built up the Bengal School, including such artists as Nandalal Bose, Sarada
Ukil, Asit Kumar Haldar, Chugtai and others.
