Category: Sketching

A sketch is a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not usually intended as a finished work. A sketch may serve a number of purposes: it might record something that the artist sees, it might record or develop an idea for later use or it might be used as a quick way of graphically demonstrating an image, idea or principle.

  • Design Schools or Design Institutes in India

    India’s Education System (mainly Mumbai University from where I belong) is based on 10 + 2 + 4 years of graduation program.

    For applying to graduation program in Art you need to have following qualification, You must have 10 + 2 passed certified program that means you must pass Secondary School Certification (SSC) & then 2 years of Higher Secondary Certification (HSC) then only you can apply to Art Institutes like Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art & Sir J. J. School of Art for graduation in Art.

    In last few years common entrance test like MH-AAC-CAT (Maharashtra Applied Arts & Crafts Common Aptitude Test) are introduced in Maharashtra state. By passing this test it allows you to choose between art colleges for graduation in Maharashtra.

    Graduation in Design
    You have to start to learn design only through Art Colleges as there are no design colleges available for graduation in design.
    But there are few courses available to graduate in Design from NID & IDC.
    NID has ‘Graduate Diploma Program in Design (GDPD)’

    Following are the famous art collages mainly in Maharashtra, India.
