The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes the integration of art education into the school curriculum to foster creativity, critical thinking, and holistic development. It advocates for an interdisciplinary approach, where art is not limited to a standalone subject but is incorporated across various disciplines to enhance experiential learning.

Key highlights of art education in NEP 2020:

• Art-Integrated Learning (AIL): Encourages using visual and performing arts as pedagogical tools to make learning more engaging and effective.
• Holistic Development: Aims to nurture cognitive, emotional, and social skills through creative expression.
