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

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
