About This Opportunity

The Kala Bharathi Diploma Course in Visual Arts is offered by the Bengaluru Kendra of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan through its cultural wing, Kala Bharathi. The course covers drawing and painting across both traditional Indian art forms and contemporary techniques, taught at the Race Course Road campus.

The diploma is structured into graded junior and senior levels and is conducted in person on weekends, allowing school-going children to pursue fine-arts training alongside their academics. Learners progress from foundational drawing to a range of painting media and styles.

The curriculum spans watercolour, acrylic and oil painting, traditional Mysore and Tanjore painting, modern and realistic art, and printmaking such as lino and wood cuts. Theory and practical examinations are conducted by external examiners, leading to diploma certification.

Teaching is led by experienced artists associated with Kala Bharathi, including a faculty member holding a Master of Fine Arts from Chitrakala Parishath, within Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's wider mission of nurturing Indian arts.
