provide me full details of applied art..

Dear Aspirant,

Anyone who is talented, artistic, has an eye for the aesthetic and has an imagination which knows no bounds, then applied arts is the way for them.  The sole aim of ‘applied arts’ is to provide a visual treat solely using the diverse and vast imagination. Applied Art is often mistaken as ‘fine arts’ but there is a thin line of difference between the two terms. 'Fine arts' is creating a visual or putting out your vision on a medium exactly.  ‘Applied arts’ involves graphic designing, interior designing, fashion designing, architecture, advertising and visual communication. It also includes functional art, basket weaving, pottery, jewellery making etc.

Eligibility Criteria

Being a vocational course, applied arts lays emphasis on theoretical knowledge as well as hands-on training. The aspirants acquire knowledge about the history of art and design as well as spend hours in training on designing on the basis of concepts and ideas. In India, BFA in Applied Arts can be pursued after passing 10+2 Board examination. The candidate must have secured a minimum 50% marks (45% marks for reserved category) in aggregate to pursue a BFA in Applied Arts. It is, however, an undergraduate degree programme, aiming to impart knowledge on ‘applied arts’ along with expanding the cultural, aesthetic, emotional, moral values of the students.

Hope this helps. All the best!
