Introduction
- The quote by Picasso implies an inherent artistic ability in every individual which can potentially get lost during the process of growing up. Art education is often perceived as a stepping stone for artists, yet its relevance to maintaining the inherent artistic ability is debated.
Purpose of art education
- Art education is aimed at facilitating the knowledge transfer process in the artistic community. The modes of learning may vary across different art disciplines, such as literature, theatre, film, and dance, but there's a common underlying theme of knowledge transfer.
Understanding knowledge transfer through the lens of hindustani classical music
- A great case study to understand the intricacies of art education and knowledge transfer can be found in the history and tradition of Hindustani classical music from Northern India. The guru-shishya parampara (teacher-student tradition) has been at the heart of knowledge transfer in this discipline for centuries.
Guru-shishya parampara and gharanas
- The guru-shishya parampara involves a student (shishya) learning under a trusted teacher (guru). This involves a personal and professional relationship with an initiation into a recognized musical lineage, known as a gharana.
- Knowledge was transferred orally, and each gharana had its unique music knowledge and practices, passed only to the chosen disciples, who in turn have the responsibility to pass it on accurately.
