At this department, students are taught the skills and traditional techniques of miniature painting. They are encouraged to develop an awareness and sensibility of contemporary practices of this art form. They learn the making of wasli (traditional paper), handmade brushes, and preparation of colours. The use of the traditional along with contemporary approaches expands the vision of students and equips them with technical possibilities. 

Courses in Painting introduce students to a variety of media, including oil, acrylic, water colour, mix media, tempera, and new media. Students are encouraged to investigate and communicate their ideas through multi-dimensional approaches, while honing their ability to understand and employ a range of mediums and materials and developing individualized techniques of making.

The Printmaking & Digital Media Programme combines both traditional and contemporary processes of Printmaking pursuing different methods of printing, usually on paper, but also on fabric, wood, metal and other surfaces, working with special tools, presses and acid.

This programme encourages use of traditional techniques alongside  new ways of looking at the constantly changing world of our electronic digital age. All intaglio techniques of drypoint, etching, engraving, photoetching and aquatint, as well as planographic techniques of offset and direct method lithography, relief printing processes like woodcut and linocut, silkscreen and digital printmaking are taught. Digital Media refers to images created digitally on paper and other surfaces, using a wide variety of computer softwares.

The creative opportunity offered by this program is hugely diverse and exciting, allowing the students to choose and combine the techniques that best suit them.

Sculpture as a medium has moved from making three dimensional objects to installations, videos, nontangible materials accessed through the sense of touch, taste, sound and light. The multi dimensionality of this process links with technology and materials which are traditional as well as contemporary. Students are encouraged to explore materials and techniques available in their surrounding so they can experiment with a wide range of ideas, images and techniques and open up new frontiers of expression.
