Art-Integration Projects
INTRODUCTION
As per a CBSE circular, all CBSE schools now have to ensure that they are following art-integrated learning for
classes 1 to 10, from the academic session 2020-21.

CBSE students of classes 9 and 10 need to take up an art-integrated project for every subject which will be
considered for internal assessment.

CBSE clarified in the circular that art-integrated learning was being introduced as a teaching tool and not to
boost art skills in general. It was a way to use art to both teach and understand various subjects better.

Given below are all the guidelines that CBSE schools and CBSE students need to follow for art-integrated projects.

WHAT IS ART INTEGRATION?

Art integration uses various art forms for experience-based learning of various concepts in different subjects.

As per the CBSE circular, this will also help in “imbibing the Indian ethos through integration of Indian art and culture
in the teaching and learning process at every level.”

“This art-integrated approach will strengthen the linkages between education and culture,” it added.

The motive behind introducing this art-integrated learning is to make the teaching and learning process more
joyful, implement learning outcomes and “enable all stakeholders to follow Competency Based Education (CBE)”.

GUIDELINES FOR CBSE SCHOOLS TO INTRODUCE ART INTEGRATED LEARNING

As per the CBSE circular, here are the guidelines for art-integrated projects to be carried out by CBSE students:

1. For classes 9 and 10, CBSE students will take up the art integrated project work as subject enrichment activity
in all the subjects for internal assessment.

2. Since one of the motives of art integrated learning is to make students aware of the diverse Indian art and
culture, CBSE students need to integrate their projects with some kind of Indian art. Teachers will need to
facilitate the learning of this art form and its usage in the project.

3. CBSE students of classes 1 to 10 have to pick minimum one art integrated project that includes the art form
of the paired Indian state and Union Territory as defined under Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat Programme.

4. The projects can be done by CBSE students in groups of 4-5 students.
