Hi Monika,
Education in fine arts is entirely different from other disciplines as it requires some inborn talent and skill. So the aspirants must have artistic and creative talent. Fine arts mainly focus on applied art, graphic design, painting and sculpturing.
To become an artist, art teacher or a lecturer in fine arts one must have a higher degree in fine arts. The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree course is for those who have passed Plus Two with any subject combination.
Here is the list of top fine arts colleges in India:-
College of Art, University of Delhi
Sir J J Institute of applied art
Faculty of Fine Arts, Jamia Millia Islamia
