UGC NET Visual Art Syllabus 2023

The subject code for UGC NET Visual Art is 79. It comprises two online papers namely Paper-I & Paper-II with Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)s. The visual arts consist of creative expression that considers innovation and individuality as its primary determinants.

Objects of art thus produced with great skill or accomplishment invariably gain a degree of invested value that is culturally significant, which is why visual art has also been known as fine arts.

A range of disciplinary specializations in studio practice has led to sub-categories like drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design etc.

which are also medium-specific categories within the practice. In contemporary times visual art has moved beyond the singular discipline towards multi-media expressions that have even significantly transgressed the studio and gallery/museum as spaces and the market as its economic determinant.

Thus, it now includes and incorporates the applied arts within it, while photography and digital modes are integrated into its world of postmodern practice.

From the theoretical perspective, art history and criticism examines and analyses past and present developments and innovations, providing contextual awareness to studio practice about the present and possible future(s).

This syllabus thus integrates all of the above into a holistic understanding of the discipline(s).
