Art-Integrated Project for Classes I to X

In continuation of above efforts, it has been decided to introduce Art-Integrated Project

work for classes I to X to promote Art-Integrated Learning in schools to make teaching-

learning Competency-Based and joyful. As part of this, at least one Art-Integrated Project

in each subject shall be taken up by all students of classes IX and X from the academic

session 2020-21, and students of classes I to VIII will also be encouraged to take at least

one Art-Integrated Project (trans-disciplinary project) in a given academic year.

Art Integrated Project may be conducted as per the following guidelines:

4.1 Classes I–VIII, Art Integrated Project should be of trans-disciplinary nature. The project

work can include more than one subject and this can be considered for Internal Assessment

in the subjects concerned.

4.2 Classes IX and X, the students will take up the art integrated project work as subject

enrichment activity in all the subjects for internal assessment.

4.3 One of the objectives of art integrated education is to make the students aware of the vast

and diverse cultural heritage of our country. Therefore, Students will take up integration

with any form of Indian Art - visual or performing, as it will be helpful to students to

easily understand the project that is culturally connected to them. Teachers need to

facilitate learning of the chosen Indian art form and ensure that the students are able to

creatively integrate the art form(s) being used in the project.

4.4 In minimum one project work of students from classes I –X, it is mandatory to integrate

any art form of the paired State/UT, as defined under Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat

Programme. For example, Art Integrated Project Work of the students of the schools in

the State of Delhi will be based on the art form of Sikkim and so on. The list of the paired

States/UTs is available at Annexure – I. However, to confirm the latest pairings, please

visit https://ekbharat.gov.in/Pages/AboutImplementationStrategy.

4.5 Subject teachers along with Arts teachers must plan and discuss the projects in advance

at the beginning of the academic session so that students can be given proper guidance to

undertake various projects.

4.6 The focus should be given on research of new topics that are not yet taken up in the

classroom. Teachers must facilitate exploration of research on the topics to give students

hands-on experience.

4.7 The project should be taken up in an eco-friendly manner, using readily available local

resources without any financial burden on parents or guardians.

The teachers may follow the following process of embedding arts with other subjects for

carrying out the project work:

4.9 The Project should be done by students in groups with 4-5 students in each group.

4.10 While creating projects, it may also be seen that it should not be too much pro art that it

becomes difficult for the subject teacher to take it forward and guide the students. The

projects should be simple and doable for the subject teachers and students without the

assistance of art teachers/artists or others.

4.11 Assessment techniques should be relevant and age appropriate. Criteria along with rubrics

for assessment can be devised collectively by teachers and students while planning the

projects. Students must be informed about the criteria decided for assessment along with

maximum marks before commencement of work on the project.

4.12 Schools and teachers may prepare their calendar by assigning dates and months for the

execution of project work by the students and the records of assessment of these project

works should be maintained at the schools.

4.13 The Art integrated project work shall also be an integral part of assessing the student’s

participation in art related activities and attainment of learning outcomes for the subject/s.

4.14 The marks awarded for these projects, as part of subject-enrichment activities of class X,

will be collected by the Board at the time of uploading of marks of internal assessment.

5. Art-Integrated Learning (AIL) as a Pedagogical Tool from classes I to XII

As stated under para 3 above, AIL will continue as a pedagogical tool for classes I to XII,

in addition to the Art Education under co-scholastic area as provided in the Secondary

School Curriculum of the Board.

The objective of AIL is not to promote arts and skills of arts but to use art as a tool to teach

other subjects. The focus here should be to accept arts as medium of the learning process.

So the subject teachers may make use of simple art forms in the classrooms; and give

opportunities to students to enjoy planned art activities and while they are experiencing

beauty of arts, they also learn and articulate the core concept of different subjects and apply

it in daily life.

Art activities which can be integrated with different subjects to aid learning are given in

Annexure-II. The activities given in the annexure are only suggestive. Correlation of AIL.
