# Arts — NCERT Class 8 — CBSE (NCERT textbooks) — Shishya school context > Subject page: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/arts · class: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8 (context: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/context.md) · data as of 2026-09-27 (IST). Free to cite; link back to the subject page. > Honesty: Shishya never reproduces, summarises or translates textbook text — read a chapter at its official link. Practice questions are Shishya's own, written by AI and answer-checked before they are shown; they are not NCERT exercises, not board questions and not previous-year questions. A chapter marked "not ready yet" has no Shishya notes or practice, and its Shishya page is not linked here. > Children: Class 1-7 school pages have no chat tutor, offer no sign-in and ask no child to create an account. On Class 8-12 pages a student may sign in to practise a chapter with Shishya's own answer-checked questions and to ask the AI tutor about it — for students 13 and above, with a one-time self-declared age band, and the tutor says it is an AI. The 5-question practice on every chapter page needs no account, and no result is saved to any account or profile from it: Shishya records only an anonymous usage event (which chapter was practised and the score), the same cookie-based analytics every page view sends. A signed-in student's own practice set is saved to that account. ## Arts - Book: Kriti — https://ncert.nic.in/textbook.php?hekr1=0-19 (NCERT also lists 22 other-language editions) - Chapters (19; 0 with Shishya notes, 0 with answer-checked practice of 5+ questions): - Chapter 1 — Bringing Words Alive — Play Reading — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr101.pdf - Chapter 2 — One Stage, Many Scripts — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr102.pdf - Chapter 3 — From Page to Stage — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr103.pdf - Chapter 4 — Applause and Advice — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr104.pdf - Chapter 5 — Discovering the Elements of Music — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr105.pdf - Chapter 6 — Musical Instruments — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr106.pdf - Chapter 7 — Indian Classical Music — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr107.pdf - Chapter 8 — Inspiration and Imagination — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr108.pdf - Chapter 9 — My World of Music — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr109.pdf - Chapter 10 — Inner Dynamics of Dance — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr110.pdf - Chapter 11 — Pan Indian Dance Forms — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr111.pdf - Chapter 12 — Dance for Well-being — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr112.pdf - Chapter 13 — Innovation, Inclusivity and Inspiring Change — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr113.pdf - Chapter 14 — A Presentation of Dance and Choreography — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr114.pdf - Chapter 15 — Elements and Principles of Visual Art and Design — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr115.pdf - Chapter 16 — Still Life in Colour — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr116.pdf - Chapter 17 — People in Places — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr117.pdf - Chapter 18 — Arts of the People, With the People, For the People — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr118.pdf - Chapter 19 — Campaign for Art Awareness — Shishya notes and practice not ready yet · official PDF: https://ncert.nic.in/textbook/pdf/hekr119.pdf - No Shishya notes or practice on this subject yet. ## Other subjects in this class - Hindi: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/hindi - English: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/english - Mathematics: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/mathematics - Social Science: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/social-science - Sanskrit: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/sanskrit - Science: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/science - Physical Education and Well Being: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/physical-education-and-well-being - Vocational Education: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/vocational-education - Urdu: https://shishya.in/schooling/cbse/class-8/urdu
