Fine Arts at Krishna Institute of Design (KID) is built around painting and the drawing skills behind it. Students learn to observe closely, draw with control and develop their work in colour and paint through regular practical work.
The main programme is the BFA – Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, a four-year degree affiliated to Raja Mansingh Tomar University. For learners who want a shorter, focused route, KID also offers a one-year Diploma in Painting and a six-month Certificate Course in Painting.
Whether you are planning a degree in art or want to build painting skills step by step, this Fine Arts course in Indore covers the foundations every painter needs: drawing and sketching, portrait and still life study, live drawing, colour theory, painting techniques, and textures and brush handling.
The BFA is affiliated to Raja Mansingh Tomar University.
Fine arts education at KID begins with drawing. Drawing and sketching train students to see proportion, form and tone accurately, and to put what they observe on paper with confidence.
Observation is developed further through portrait study, still life study and live drawing. Each asks students to look carefully at a subject — a face, an arrangement of objects, a live subject — and record its structure, light and character.
Painting builds on this base. Colour theory explains how colours relate and mix, painting techniques cover how a painting is built up from the first layers to the finished work, and textures and brush handling give students control over the painted surface.
The learning is practical throughout. Students develop their skills by drawing and painting regularly, so their ability grows with each piece of work.
