The Art by Dr Ved Prakash Bhardwaj - HTML preview

The Art

ancestors possessed the skill, precision, and

honesty of art. We should not lose them.”

Gandhiji had a profound influence

on his vision of art education and creativity.

He was not in favour of giving children an

art education that would take away their

individuality. He said that if a child can create a human figure in their own way, it may be

inspired by their parents or someone else.

However, our art teachers often pressure

them to make something else, such as

flowers or other conventional forms. For this,

he considered the entire education system

responsible. He also stressed that teachers

should teach children while learning from

them as well.

His view of the art education curriculum

was that our courses should be designed in

such a way that they provide children with

opportunities to unleash their creative energy.

They should be given knowledge of our rich

cultural heritage. Visual elements such as

clay sculptures, floral designs, and pottery

should be included in the school curriculum.

This would help boost their creativity.
