3 Preamble / Scope
The ancient Indian art is Buddhist art. Though the artists study the
technical details of the Indian art in the art school, the philosophical
background and the Teachings of the Buddha which is the inspiration
behind the Buddhist art is unknown to many. It is because the Teachings
of the Buddha is in Pali language and the translations in any other
language loses the essence which is the motivation behind any art.
Many artists though they want to portray the life and teachings of the
Buddha as seen in the ea rlier art of India in the form of sculptures,
paintings, murals, miniatures find it difficult to do so because of their
inaccessibility to the Pali language and literature.
The one year certificate course in “Pali Language and Buddhist Art” is a
small ende avor to bring the two elements together, the artist and the
language.
The course is designed keeping in mind the requirements of the artists
who are interested in the ancient art as is being still excavated at the
Buddhist archaeological sites and are popularly called as the Gandhara,
Mathura, Sarnath, Amaravati School of Arts.
The sculptures of Sanchi, Barhut, Amaravati, Nagarjunakonda, Phanigiri,
Sannati, Ellora, the Paintings of Ajanta, Pitalkhora etc, well known in the
world as Buddhist art is the sour ce of inspiration today to know more
about Buddha and His Dhamma by the artist.
The course is divided into 4 papers of 100 marks each of 40 marks theory
and 60 marks of practical work [Studio] in the form of paintings,
sculptures, murals on the topic .
