Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational Graphic Art study plan
Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational Graphic Art · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Fundamentals of Art and Design & Drawing and Sketching Techniques
Define and illustrate the seven elements of art (line, shape, form, space, texture, value, colour) with one hand-drawn example each
Practise contour, gesture and blind-contour drawing from household objects for at least 90 minutes across the week
Build a value scale of nine steps in graphite and reproduce it on a simple sphere and cube
Explain in writing how proportion and perspective (one-point and two-point) govern a still-life composition
Your checkpoint
A 10-page sketchbook section containing the elements-of-art chart, 12 timed drawing studies, a nine-step value scale and one shaded still life of three objects
Fundamentals of Art and Design & Elements and Principles of Graphic Design
Apply the principles of design (balance, contrast, emphasis, rhythm, movement, pattern, unity) to redesign one weak poster layout
Construct a colour wheel and label primary, secondary and tertiary hues plus complementary and analogous pairs
Compose three thumbnail variants of the same layout using symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial balance
Critique two published advertisements by naming the principle each one relies on and why it works
Your checkpoint
A single A3 sheet showing the colour wheel, three balance thumbnails and a one-page written critique of two advertisements
Elements and Principles of Graphic Design & Typography and Layout
Classify typefaces into serif, sans-serif, script and display, and identify five common families by name and category
Set a short paragraph in four typefaces and record how leading, tracking and kerning change readability
Build a typographic hierarchy for a one-page event notice using three sizes and two weights only
Establish a baseline grid and align all text blocks to it in a hand-drawn or digital mock-up
Your checkpoint
One A4 typographic poster that uses only three type sizes and two weights, accompanied by a labelled specimen sheet of the four type categories
Drawing and Sketching Techniques & Practical / Portfolio and Project Work
Draw a two-point perspective street corner with at least six correctly receding edges
Complete a 30-minute observational study of a human figure or hand and annotate the proportions used
Assemble the best eight drawings from weeks 1-4 into a sequenced portfolio with a written rationale for each inclusion
Photograph or scan every portfolio piece at consistent resolution and naming convention
Your checkpoint
A curated 8-piece portfolio folder (physical or digital) with a one-page artist statement and consistent file naming
Printmaking and Reproduction Processes & Digital Graphic Design Tools and Software
Describe relief, intaglio, planographic and stencil processes and match each to a common example such as woodcut, etching, lithography and screen printing
Explain the difference between RGB and CMYK and convert one colour artwork between the two modes
Produce a two-colour design and prepare it as separated artwork suitable for screen printing
List the main stages of commercial reproduction from artwork to press proof, using correct terms for bleed, trim and registration
Your checkpoint
A two-colour screen-print-ready design with labelled colour separations plus a one-page process chart of the four print families
Digital Graphic Design Tools and Software & Advertising and Commercial Art
Recreate one week-3 layout in a vector or page-layout tool using layers, groups and named artboards
Demonstrate non-destructive editing by applying masks, adjustment layers and smart objects to a single image
Export the same artwork as print-ready PDF, web PNG and social-media JPEG and verify resolution and colour mode of each
Draft a one-page advertising brief naming target audience, single message, medium and call to action for a local product
Your checkpoint
A layered project file plus three correctly configured exports (PDF, PNG, JPEG) and a completed one-page creative brief
Advertising and Commercial Art & Practical / Portfolio and Project Work
Design a three-piece campaign (poster, social post, banner) that keeps one visual identity across formats
Write and lay out persuasive copy that respects the brief's single message and call to action
Apply at least four design principles deliberately and annotate where each appears in the campaign
Test the campaign at thumbnail size and revise anything that fails to read clearly
Your checkpoint
A three-piece campaign set with an annotated rationale sheet identifying the principles and typographic choices used
Practical / Portfolio and Project Work & Fundamentals of Art and Design & Elements and Principles of Graphic Design
Consolidate the full portfolio into a final sequence of 12-15 pieces with consistent presentation
Revise the two weakest pieces from earlier weeks and document what changed and why
Complete a timed mock paper covering elements of art, principles of design and typography under exam conditions
Prepare a 5-minute spoken walkthrough of the portfolio that defends each major decision
Your checkpoint
A final 12-15 piece portfolio with revision notes and a completed timed mock paper scored against a self-made answer key
Milestones
Week 2: Can draw and label the colour wheel from memory and correctly name the principle behind three given layouts without notes
Week 4: Portfolio holds 8 finished drawings, at least one in correct two-point perspective, and every file is consistently named and scanned
Week 6: Can explain the four print families, convert artwork between RGB and CMYK, and export print, web and social versions with correct settings
Week 8: Final portfolio of 12-15 pieces is complete, the timed mock paper is finished within the allotted time, and the spoken walkthrough runs without notes
