8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Elements and Principles of Design & Drawing and Freehand Sketching

  • List and define all seven elements of design (line, shape, form, space, texture, value, colour) with one original example of each drawn from Odia daily life

  • Draw a labelled grid sheet demonstrating the principles of balance, rhythm, emphasis, proportion, unity and contrast, annotating how each is achieved in a single thumbnail

  • Produce 20 timed one-minute freehand contour sketches of household objects to build line control and hand-eye coordination

  • Identify the elements and principles present in three posters or signboards you can see locally, writing a short analysis for each

Your checkpoint

A 10-page sketchbook portfolio containing the annotated elements/principles grid plus 20 dated contour sketches

Week 2

Drawing and Freehand Sketching & Elements and Principles of Design

  • Construct a still-life setup of three objects and render it in pencil using measured proportion and perspective

  • Practise two-point perspective by drawing a street corner or room interior with a horizon line and vanishing points marked

  • Sketch five human figures in action poses at 5 minutes each, focusing on gesture line before detail

  • Compare your week-1 and week-2 proportion drawings and write a 150-word self-critique identifying two specific errors to correct

Your checkpoint

One finished A3 pencil still-life drawing with the construction lines retained, plus a written self-critique

Week 3

Colour Theory and Application & Drawing and Freehand Sketching

  • Build a personal colour wheel of 12 hues in poster colour, mixing secondaries and tertiaries from primaries only

  • Define hue, value, saturation and temperature, and produce a value scale of nine steps in grey

  • Create three colour schemes (complementary, analogous, split-complementary) as flat swatch compositions on one sheet

  • Render one object from your still-life setup in colour, recording each mix recipe beside the drawing

Your checkpoint

A mounted colour-theory sheet with the 12-hue wheel, nine-step value scale, three scheme compositions and mix notes

Week 4

Typography and Lettering & Graphic Design and Advertising Art

  • Draw the full uppercase alphabet in a single sans-serif style with consistent stroke width, height and spacing on ruled guidelines

  • Demonstrate the four basic lettering families (Roman, Gothic, Text and Script) with one specimen word each

  • Design a simple wordmark for a fictional Odia craft brand, showing three rough thumbnails before the final

  • Lay out a one-page advertisement combining headline, body copy and a visual, applying hierarchy and alignment

Your checkpoint

A one-page advertisement layout with a hand-lettered headline, judged against a self-made spacing and hierarchy checklist

Week 5

Traditional and Folk Art of Odisha & Graphic Design and Advertising Art

  • Describe the technique, motifs and typical palette of Pattachitra, and sketch two characteristic border motifs from memory

  • Compare three Odisha folk traditions (for example Pattachitra, Dhokra metal casting and Pipili appliqué) in a written table of material, process and use

  • Explain the steps of poster design from brief to final, and produce a rough, a comprehensive and a final for one social-awareness poster

  • Reproduce one traditional motif and adapt it into a modern logo sketch, noting what you changed and why

Your checkpoint

A two-part sheet: traditional motif studies on one half, the adapted modern logo sketch with rationale on the other

Week 6

History of Indian Art and Aesthetics & Traditional and Folk Art of Odisha

  • Summarise the distinguishing features of Indus Valley, Mauryan, Gupta, Mughal and Company painting in a dated timeline chart

  • List the six limbs of Indian painting (shadanga) and explain each in your own words with an example

A hand-drawn illustrated timeline of Indian art with a 300-word comparative essay attached

Week 7

Computer-Aided Design and Digital Media & Typography and Lettering

  • Recreate your week-4 wordmark in a vector tool using only paths and text, keeping curves smooth and nodes minimal

  • Demonstrate resolution, file formats (raster versus vector) and colour modes (RGB versus CMYK) with one exported sample of each

  • Set a 100-word paragraph in two typefaces and adjust leading, tracking and alignment for readability

  • Prepare a print-ready A4 poster file at correct bleed and export a proof PDF

Your checkpoint

A digital folder containing the vector wordmark, the two-paragraph typesetting exercise and a print-ready poster PDF

Week 8

Craft, Material Handling and Studio Practice & Elements and Principles of Design
