==History==

===Early history===
[[File:Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy.png|thumb|[[Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy]] and his Chinese secretary (1783–1859) portrait at the Sir J. J. School of Art]]

The School founded in March 1857, was named after [[Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy]], a businessman and philanthropist who donated Rs. 100,000 for its endowment. Operations were managed by a committee headed by the Chief Justice of Bombay. The School's first class was in drawing, and began on 2 March 1857. Classes were held at the [[Elphinstone Institution]]. [[John Griffiths (artist)|John Griffiths]] became Principal of the School in 1865. He later became famous for copying the murals in the [[Ajanta Caves]] temple complex, a project which lasted from 1872 to 1891, and which the School's students assisted in.<ref>[http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=224832 Art heritage, saved by sunshine law]{{dead link|date=February 2023|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} ''[[Indian Express]]'', 2 March 2007. "...when the Public Works Department took up repainting of the building, the paintings had been shifted to the terrace and may have been washed out after the 26/7 deluge two years ago.(2005)"</ref>

In 1866, management of the school was taken over by the Government of India. Also in 1866, [[John Lockwood Kipling|Lockwood Kipling]], who had become a professor of the School in 1865, established three ''[[Wikt:atelier|ateliers]]'' for (i) Decorative Paintings, (ii) Modelling; and (iii) Ornamental Wrought Iron Work, and became its first dean. He was the father of the author [[Rudyard Kipling]], who was born on the School's campus.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121022141030/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-10-05/mumbai/27989345_1_kipling-house-bungalow-jsw-foundation Kipling house to become museum] ''[[Times of India]]'', Oct 5, 2007.</ref> In 1878, the school moved to its own building, where it is currently situated. The building was designed by architect George Twigge Molecey,<ref name=bre>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121022141035/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2008-11-07/mumbai/27946139_1_stone-walls-restoration-heritage-buildings After years, Sir JJ School of Art begins to BREATHE] ''[[Times of India]]'', Nov 7, 2008.

Drawing instruction as a subject was introduced in 1879 and a programme for training drawing teachers was started in 1893. In 1891, the Lord Reay Art Workshops (now known as the Department of Art-Crafts) were established.

===1900s===
The School had an important tradition in [[architecture]]. In 1900, the School offered its first course in architecture, taught by [[John Begg]], later Consulting Architect of Bombay and of the Government of India. A complete 4-year programme was established in 1908 under Begg's assistant [[George Wittet]]. In 1917, architect [[Claude Batley]] became a visiting professor; he was Principal of the School from 1923 to 1943, and is commemorated in the Claude Batley Architectural Gallery for architectural exhibitions, opened in 1996.

In 1896, the Draughtsman's classes, the nucleus of the Department of Architecture, were added. This Department was later organised for a 3 years Diploma Course which was duly recognised by the [[Royal Institute of British Architects|R.I.B.A. Board]].

In 1910, the [[George Clarke, 1st Baron Sydenham of Combe|Sir George Clarke]] Studies and Laboratories were built for the advanced study of crafts, pottery being the first craft taken up for study. In 1929, the head of the School was renamed "Director", and in 1935, the Department of Commercial Art was also started.

In 1937 [[M.R. Acharekar]] was appointed deputy director and continued his tenure till 1939. Shri. V. S. Adurkar was the first Indian head of the school, succeeding [[Claude Batley]] as Director in 1943.

===Post-independence===
In 1958, the school was divided, with the Departments of Architecture and Applied Art becoming the [[Sir J. J. College of Architecture]] and [[Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Art]] respectively.

In 1981, the School became affiliated with the [[University of Mumbai]].
