抄録	Design education in India in a broad sense started in the mid-nineteenth century at three art schools in Madras, Calcutta, and Bombay. Another school was founded in Lahore in 1875. Although established during the colonial period, these schools are important for the history of art and design education in India and Asia also. The Madras School of Art was started in 1850 by Alexander Hunter. With the opening of the industrial section, it renamed the Madras School of Art and Industry. In 1852, it became the Government School of Industrial Arts. The Calcutta school was established in 1854 as the School of Industrial Art by the Society for the Promotion of Industrial Art. The South Kensington School of London supported it and selected Henry Hover Locke for the post of the first principal of the Calcutta school. It was renamed the Government School of Art in 1864, as the Government Schools of Design in Britain had started to be renamed Schools of Art since 1853. Locke stressed on imparting art education along the lines of South Kensington where academic naturalism became predominant. Earnest Binfield Havell served the Madras school as superintendent from 1884, and moved to the Calcutta school in 1896. He put emphasis on the Indian style of art instead. Havell also studied at the South Kensington School, but less academic and more familiar to the Arts and Crafts. The other historical art school is Sir J. J. School of Art founded in Bombay. Although histories of the Government Schools of Design were written in Britain, schools established in India were rarely included. By including these Indian schools in this history, we can get a broader view of the history of design education in the nineteenth century.
