Summary: Pedagogy at the Bombay School of Art found its momentum with John Griffith, former Painting Master, taking over as the Head of the School. From 1880 to 1895, Griffith promoted the documentation and understanding of the Local. His grand project (that he led from the front), the decade-long exercise to document the murals of the Western Indian cave temples of Ajanta, would form the template on which much of later the learning would happen after. In a school of art where painting, sculpture and architecture were all part of a simultaneous process, documentation and drawing became the cornerstones.
