Management of Art Treasures of India (MATI) is launching a summer time Art, History and Understanding Certificate Course. This 16 days course is to spread over weekend late afternoons and covers the entire history of Indian art. Designed in a modular format, this course will help you in developing a better and deeper understanding of art and its relationship with society and patronage through cultural, historical context of art in India.
The course helps to initiate students, young professionals and art lovers in the world of viewing and appreciating art, and it also focuses on visual literacy, helping the participants to read visuals. This 4 module course will be taught in a simple conversational manner, and will cover history, appreciation, valuation of art and its history.
With a 4 member faculty and field visit experts Further details and module wise break downs are available at on the website as are the course fees. The faculty includes Abha Seth who has specialised in early medieval sculptures of western india. She has taught across various subjects for over nine years at the History of Art Department Faculty of Fine Arts Baroda.
The course is spread over Saturday and Sunday afternoons and covers the entire history of Indian art and it aims to help students interpret, recognise and analyse art and to engage with contemporary art and the market system.
This modular format course is designed to develop a better and deeper understanding of art and its relationship with society and patronage. It aims to help understand the larger cultural , historical context of art in south Asia (principally- India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan), which is the historical context of contemporary art. )
Another point of focus is to develop an understanding of the social, economic, cultural value of art. The course does not intend to be overtly theoretical, save where such deductions evolve from the material of our concern, the visual images themselves; it would rather be an exercise in ‘looking’ at art and attempting to read them contextually.
Art lovers, this one's for you – so book in because seats are limited!
