Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)

PEO1: Artistic Knowledge Mastery: Graduates will comprehensively master historical, technical, and conceptual foundations of Indian (e.g., miniature traditions, bronze casting) and international art practices, enabling lifelong learning and adaptation in dynamic creative fields.

PEO2: Professional Skill Development: Graduates will develop advanced skills in applying, analysing, and innovating painting/sculpture techniques, producing market-ready portfolios through critical evaluation and ethical practice for gallery, curation, or freelance careers.

PEO3: Industry and Research Readiness: Graduates will execute major residency-based projects in India, fostering research-driven innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship to contribute to national/international art ecosystems and higher studies.

PO1: Historical Knowledge and Comprehension: Students recall and understand key milestones in Indian (e.g., Ajanta murals, Pahari paintings) and international art history (e.g., Cubism, Surrealism), analysing stylistic evolutions and cultural contexts to interpret influences on modern Painting and Sculpture.

PO2: Technical Proficiency and Application: Students apply traditional Indian techniques (e.g., tempera in Madhubani art, lost-wax casting in Chola sculptures) alongside international methods (e.g., oil glazing from the Dutch Golden Age, welding in modern sculpture), demonstrating hands-on execution across 2D/3D media.

PO3: Conceptual Analysis and Critique: Students analyse compositions, forms, and themes in artworks—dissecting proportions in Greek sculptures versus symbolic narratives in Tanjore paintings—while evaluating socio-political dimensions through critical essays and peer critiques.

PO4: Creative Synthesis and Innovation: Students create original paintings and sculptures by synthesising Indian motifs (e.g., Warli patterns) with global abstractions (e.g., Pollock's drip technique), producing hybrid works that address contemporary issues like climate or identity.

PO5: Research and Problem-Solving: Students conduct independent research on art movements (e.g., Bengal School vs. Bauhaus), applying findings to resolve technical challenges, such as sustainable materials in eco-sculptures inspired by tribal Indian crafts.

PO6: Professional Evaluation and Ethics: Students evaluate their portfolio against industry standards, appraising ethical considerations in appropriation (e.g., colonial gazes in Indian art history) and curating exhibitions that benchmark against international biennales like Venice or Kochi-Muziris.

PO7: Residency and Major Project Execution: In Year 4, students engage in an India-based residency (e.g., at artist villages like Baroda or Shantiniketan), executing major capstone projects, large-scale installations or series, while collaborating with mentors, documenting processes, and presenting to galleries for professional launch.

PSO1: Foundational Art Knowledge (Maps to PO1, PO3): Students remember and understand core concepts, timelines, and stylistic elements from Indian art history (e.g., Indus Valley seals, Mughal miniatures) and international traditions (e.g., Renaissance perspective, Modernism), enabling basic comprehension of historical influences on painting and sculpture practices.

PSO2: Basic Technique Recognition (Maps to PO2, PO5): Students recall and describe fundamental techniques in Indian (e.g., fresco secco in Ajanta, patachitra layering) and global contexts (e.g., impasto in Impressionism, armature in Rodin sculptures), grasping their principles for initial application in studio work.

PSO3: Introductory Concept Articulation (Maps to PO4, PO6): Students identify and explain elementary themes, forms, and materials in artworks, recognising ethical basics (e.g., cultural authenticity in folk sculptures), to support early-stage evaluation and creative ideation aligned with professional standards.
