Art, the term relates mainly to beautification, is also one of the technique of understanding society for converting the abstract notion to the concrete one. Art picturizes society and society defines art. A point where both art and science merge. How art sketches society and how sociology becomes the voice of art?Both sociology and visual arts are behaviour –centric disciplines. One studies the human behaviour in the conscious world from positive, verstehen and phenomenological or ethnomethodological method, the other attempts to picturize even the subconscious mind and the behaviour of man

It sounds pretty cool in representing this unique paper which combines the very essence of both the subjects under one roof.

Earliest cave paintings of Altamira, Lascaux, Ajanta, Ellora, Bhimbetka or alike which depicts the then present social condition of the society through arts.
