Detailed Description

The purpose of my summer internship project was to have a precise insight into what Gond Tribal Art is, their social structures, and what led to the break of an old art form into a newer one. This report represents primary research on the cultural past, narratives, and ideologies that shaped their present as Pardhan Gond painters. I made an effort to study the characteristics and themes of their paintings and got involved in practicing the identical forms of flora, fauna, gods, goddesses, and human beings, which further served as a base to establish the majestic art form.
