 Annexure A
CBSE/Dir(Acad)/2020/ 14th May, 2020
Circular No.: Acad 33/2020
The Heads of all Schools Affiliated to CBSE

Subject: Art-Integrated Project for Classes I to X and Reporting of

Implementation of Art- Education and Art-Integrated Learning by
Schools

Dear Principal,

The Board, vide Circular No. Acad-05/2019 dated 18 January, 2019, mandated Learning
Outcome (LO) Based Teaching-Learning process in all its affiliated schools. It was also
informed that all schools must adopt and implement LOs prepared by NCERT in their
annual pedagogical plans to enable all stakeholders to follow Competency Based
Education (CBE). The underlying focus of CBE is attainment of each of the grade and
subject appropriate LOs and demonstration and application of learning in real-life situation
by the learners. CBE can be implemented only through innovative and joyful experiential
pedagogies such as Art-Integrated and Sport-Integrated Learning, Storytelling, etc. which
promote reflection, critical thinking, creativity, initiation, self-direction and other 21st Century
Skills. All this is done to make students 21st century-ready citizens, by empowering them
with the competencies to understand, analyse, evaluate, interpret and innovate various real
life situations that they require to face in the world outside the classrooms or an
environment beyond their schools and homes.

2. The Draft National Policy of Education 2019 inter-alia states: Art-Integration is a cross-
curricular pedagogical approach that utilizes various aspects and forms of art and culture
as the basis for experiencing the learning of concepts across subjects. As a part of the
thrust on experiential learning, art-integrated education will be embedded in classroom
transactions not only for creating joyful classrooms, but also for imbibing the Indian
ethos through integration of Indian art and culture in the teaching and learning
process at every level. This art-integrated approach will strengthen the linkages between
education and culture.

3. As a pedagogical initiative, CBSE has introduced Art- Integrated Learning in all its affiliated
schools vide Circular No. Acad-12/2019 dated 8th March 2019. The Board has also issued
Guidelines on Art-Integrated Learning vide Circular No. Acad-22/2019 dated 18.04.2019
with an aim to facilitate teachers and principals for implementing Art Integrated Learning
as a pedagogical tool for experiential and joyful learning in classroom situation as well as
building a joyful learning environment in the school. The Art-Integration guidelines of the
Board enlists various suggestive activities, projects, assignments and lesson plans and are
available at –

http://cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/Manuals/Art_Integration.pdf

4. Art-Integrated Project for Classes I to X

In continuation of above efforts, it has been decided to introduce Art-Integrated Project

work for classes I to X to promote Art-Integrated Learning in schools to make teaching-
learning Competency-Based and joyful. As part of this, at least one Art-Integrated Project
in each subject shall be taken up by all students of classes IX and X from the academic
session 2020-21, and students of classes I to VIII will also be encouraged to take at least
one Art-Integrated Project (trans-disciplinary project) in a given academic year.

Art Integrated Project may be conducted as per the following guidelines:

4.1 Classes I–VIII, Art Integrated Project should be of trans-disciplinary nature. The project
work can include more than one subject and this can be considered for Internal Assessment
in the subjects concerned.
4.2 Classes IX and X, the students will take up the art integrated project work as subject
enrichment activity in all the subjects for internal assessment.

4.3 One of the objectives of art integrated education is to make the students aware of the vast
and diverse cultural heritage of our country. Therefore, Students will take up integration
with any form of Indian Art - visual or performing, as it will be helpful to students to
easily understand the project that is culturally connected to them. Teachers need to
facilitate learning of the chosen Indian art form and ensure that the students are able to
creatively integrate the art form(s) being used in the project.

4.4 In minimum one project work of students from classes I –X, it is mandatory to integrate
any art form of the paired State/UT, as defined under Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat
Programme. For example, Art Integrated Project Work of the students of the schools in
the State of Delhi will be based on the art form of Sikkim and so on. The list of the paired
States/UTs is available at Annexure – I. However, to confirm the latest pairings, please
visit https://ekbharat.gov.in/Pages/AboutImplementationStrategy.

4.5 Subject teachers along with Arts teachers must plan and discuss the projects in advance
at the beginning of the academic session so that students can be given proper guidance to
undertake various projects.

4.6 The focus should be given on research of new topics that are not yet taken up in the
classroom. Teachers must facilitate exploration of research on the topics to give students
hands-on experience.

4.7 The project should be taken up in an eco-friendly manner, using readily available local
resources without any financial burden on parents or guardians.

2
4.8 The teachers may follow the following process of embedding arts with other subjects for
carrying out the project work:

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

•Selection •Providing •Assessment of •Reflection

of a topic creative students (for on the new
/theme, inquiry subject and art learning of
drawing opportunit involved) the subject
upon the ies for using an art
previous hands-on form by
knowledge learning to students
of students students

4.9 The Project should be done by students in groups with 4-5 students in each group.

4.10 While creating projects, it may also be seen that it should not be too much pro art that it
becomes difficult for the subject teacher to take it forward and guide the students. The
projects should be simple and doable for the subject teachers and students without the
assistance of art teachers/artists or others.
4.11 Assessment techniques should be relevant and age appropriate. Criteria along with rubrics
for assessment can be devised collectively by teachers and students while planning the
projects. Students must be informed about the criteria decided for assessment along with
maximum marks before commencement of work on the project.
4.12 Schools and teachers may prepare their calendar by assigning dates and months for the
execution of project work by the students and the records of assessment of these project
works should be maintained at the schools.
4.13 The Art integrated project work shall also be an integral part of assessing the student’s
participation in art related activities and attainment of learning outcomes for the subject/s.
4.14 The marks awarded for these projects, as part of subject-enrichment activities of class X,
will be collected by the Board at the time of uploading of marks of internal assessment.
5. Art-Integrated Learning (AIL) as a Pedagogical Tool from classes I to XII
As stated under para 3 above, AIL will continue as a pedagogical tool for classes I to XII,
in addition to the Art Education under co-scholastic area as provided in the Secondary
School Curriculum of the Board.
The objective of AIL is not to promote arts and skills of arts but to use art as a tool to teach
other subjects. The focus here should be to accept arts as medium of the learning process.
So the subject teachers may make use of simple art forms in the classrooms; and give
opportunities to students to enjoy planned art activities and while they are experiencing
beauty of arts, they also learn and articulate the core concept of different subjects and apply
it in daily life.
Art activities which can be integrated with different subjects to aid learning are given in
Annexure-II. The activities given in the annexure are only suggestive. Correlation of AIL

3
 activities, is to be seen broadly and should not restrict to one or the other kind of subjects.
For example, what helps us in Agriculture as a subject can also connect to Mathematics
and Science subjects. Therefore, the teachers and learners should not limit themselves in
the rigid boundaries as suggested in the said annexure.
In AIL activities, teachers and students may go for integration of visual and performing arts
too. Since skill of making art is not the criteria of evaluation, children can explore and might
come out with very creative expressions that enable achievement of the learning outcomes.
6. Reporting of Implementation of Art-Education (AE) and Art-Integrated Learning (AIL)

The Board has prepared the Art Education (AE) and Art Integrated Learning (AIL)- AE &
AIL portal for reporting of the implementation of Art-Education (AE) and Art-Integrated
Learning (AIL). The schools are required to upload data of the Art-Education and Art-
Integrated Learning projects of students in the AE & AIL portal at the link
http://cbseit.in/cbse/web/ArtEdu/LandingPage.aspx for enabling students of class X
and XII to appear in Board exam.

Schools may follow the below mentioned steps for uploading the data in the AE & AIL
portal:
6.1 The required data regarding (i) implementation of Art- Education up to class X, (ii) Art-
Integrated Project up to class X, and (iii) implementation of Art- Integrated Learning
up to class XII are to be uploaded by the school to enable it to download the admit cards
for classes X and XII exams of the Board. The Report Format of data submission is
available at Annexure-III.
6.2 The link to upload AE & AIL data will be available at www.cbse.nic.in
6.3 The schools may use the same Username and Password that they have used for
registration and filling up of LOC of candidates to access AE& AIL portal meant for data
submission.
6.4 After successful uploading of the AE & AIL data, an ‘AE & AIL Confirmation Number’ will
be generated and the schools will be able to download admit cards after filling the AE &AIL
confirmation number at the column specified for it.
6.5 The printout of AE & AIL report submitted is not required to be sent to either Regional Office
or CBSE Headquarters. The schools may preserve a printout of the same for at least 01-
year period for record and reference.
