Situated on the main approach road to the park, a couple
of kilometers out of Sawai Madhopur, the Ranthambore School of Art
is trying to help preserve what is it's own foundation stone -
the tiger.
|
The
school recruits students from the surrounding villages
and towns. The aim is to keep the beautiful image of the tiger in
the minds of everyone. This they feel in turn would create a positive
feeling in people otherwise indifferent, or negative, regarding
the importance of the tiger's survival. The school also goes
into villages and gives demonstrations and talks.
They
say the most encouraging factor is the response from young children.

 Some of the larger masterpieces are expensive but worth every penny |
These children then obviously go back and influence
the minds of those in their respective homes. They are also the future
conservationists in the making.
 The Ranthambore School of Art is located along the main approach road to the park |
The
paintings the students, and teachers, of the school create
are marvels definitely worth seeing, if not buying. There
are paintings in various sizes and fitting most budgets.
The price range could vary from Rs. 1000/- to Rs. 75,000/- for a
large masterpiece. They may be a little more expensive than the
other private shops around also selling paintings, but it's a lot
more comforting to know you have not JUST bought a beautiful piece
of art.

The school has been invited to hold exhibitions all over the world and their contribution towards conservation has been recognised by NGOs and animal protection societies of Ranthambore and the country.
