This empirical study investigates the teaching materials and methods used at the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) level for Fine Arts in India. Aiming to identify the types, application, and effectiveness of these materials and methods, the study employs a quali-quantitative approach. Data was gathered through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews involving 530 students, 28 teachers, 10 teacher-interviewees, and 5 key informants from various colleges across rural, town, and city areas in [State], India. Results indicate a significant misalignment between the current materials and methods with curriculum objectives, leading to inadequate proficiency in Fine Arts among students. Students expressed dissatisfaction with the materials, citing their lack of practical relevance and limited use of audio-visual aids. Teachers highlighted the need for updated resources and training. Key informants stressed curriculum updates and collaboration with art practitioners. The study underscores the necessity for teacher training, material redesign, and interactive learning environments to enhance Fine Arts education at the HSC level.<\/span><\/p>
