Painting - Art or doing painting is common to all of us from our childhood and to some extent it is learnt in schooldays too.

With the help of these one can gain mastery in this field and also get a good livelihood that’s well presentable in the society.

After doing the four year graduation course two year post graduation course is done. Within this two year course traditional and new medium like computer is used and brief study is done the topics like still and moving objects.
Graphics (Print Making) - This is one of the oldest method of printing and it has got its due respect over the time. We can show our creation with the help of zinc plate/limestone/wood/caste/linen and silk on various bases and then with the help of machine and ink print is given on paper. The present day artists have used new techniques in this subject and have given it its due respect and enhanced its import-ance among the public. To learn this art one has to have good knowledge of painting.
Mural Art - Mural art is commonly thought of painting on the walls. To learn this art one has to have good knowledge of drawing as well as good knowledge of colour mixing. Presently in our society Mural has got a new identity moving away from usual wall painting and therefore it has become multifaceted. Now a day’s permanent Mural is done on the tiles/terracotta/cement/glass/ plastic/iron and steel even photography/digital techniques or with different lights temporary Mural is done. In foreign countries many people do Mural art on the outer walls of their house.
Textile Art - Textile art means art on the cloth material. It requires knowledge of drawing as well as knowledge of printing on the clothes like making primarily making drawing on the paper and then by using loom machines printing the drawing on the clothes/ making clothes using the threads/ coloring the clothes etc are taught. Example of this art is seen in the Rajasthani cloth material, in Banarasi silk sarees. Apart from being teacher one can get job in the garment manufacturing factories or textile mills, one can start own printing and screen printing works or small bussiness.
Applied Art - With the dawn of 19th century and with the new techniques being developed this art is known as art of the advertisement. In the present day it has undergone some remedies and is known as commercial art. This art got its birth since the time when the theory of selling and buying came into existence in this earth. Even this requires good knowledge of drawing and along with this we should have knowledge of graphics/ composition/identity of alphabets/art of poster making/art of advertisement-in news paper/everyday advertisement in newspaper and news magazine/ posters seen in the shops/Glow sign boards/danglers/packaging of products and presentation/everyday advertisement in television/graphic presentation in different channels of the television etc. We should have good knowledge of the different procedures from the simplest to that of the highest level.

Plastic Art - (Sculpture)- We require good command over drawing, after this with the help of mud one has to give it shape after this with the help of stone/sand stone/red stone/ marbles etc. we give it shape according to our feelings and after this with the help of wood of different type and other materials like plaster of pares, plastic, iron, aluminum, wax and other related material, we try to make the objective and take it towards own creation. Presently it uses different techniques and remains very attractive. Even installation art came from this. It I getting international support too. Installation are means use of so many material & techniques and making new creations. And even film and music is involved in this. After this course one can go for exhibition, govt. & private sector projects, thus providing employment for both himself and the others.
Pottery - One thing which strikes our mind is the crockery of bone china. But it has got global importance and a wide market. Within this our household crockery are also involved along with official pots, decoration pieces at office, showrooms, house etc. this work ends with putting it in the fire to be stable. This is creative pottery and not usual crockery making. Usually ceramic is use in this but contemporary art world so many artist uses new materials & mix techniques and give high importance to this art.
