Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational Textile Designing study plan

Define and illustrate the elements of design (line, shape, form, texture, space, colour, value) with one hand-drawn swatch example each

Demonstrate the principles of design (balance, rhythm, emphasis, proportion, harmony, unity) by annotating three existing fabric samples you own or can photograph

Build a 12-hue colour wheel plus a value and intensity scale in poster or gouache, then label primary, secondary and tertiary hues and complementary/split-complementary pairs

Sketch one 10 cm x 10 cm motif in three tonal variations to show how value change alters visual weight

Construct three repeat types on graph paper: full drop, half drop and brick, each on a 15 cm x 15 cm grid with seam allowance lines marked

Convert one single motif into a mirrored, a rotational and a tossed repeat layout

Draw and label the parts of a plain weave, twill weave and satin weave using two-colour yarn diagrams and identify float length in each

Classify ten fabric samples by weave structure and fibre (cotton, silk, wool, polyester, blends) using burn and feel tests with safety precautions

Write a 150-word note explaining how yarn twist direction and count affect the drape and surface of a woven fabric

Produce a block-printed sample using a hand-carved potato or rubber block in two colours with proper registration and a repeat

Complete a tie-and-dye (bandhani-style or clamp resist) sample and a wax-resist batik sample, and label the resist mechanism in each

Run a direct dye or natural-dye (onion skin, turmeric, indigo) dye bath on cotton and record mordant, temperature, time and resulting shade

Execute five basic embroidery stitches (running, chain, satin, stem, blanket) in a 20 cm sampler and label each

Explain the difference between direct, discharge and resist printing in 100 words with one example each

Compile a reference sheet of five traditional Indian textile traditions (e.g. Ikat, Bandhani, Kalamkari, Patola, Chikankari) noting region, technique, typical motifs and colour palette

Describe in 250 words the Odishan handloom traditions of Sambalpuri Ikat (bandha), Bomkai and Pipili appliqué, covering motif vocabulary and dyeing sequence

Develop one original motif inspired by Odishan ikat or appliqué and present it in a full-drop repeat with a colour card of five shades

Compare one Odishan craft with one other Indian tradition in a 150-word table covering technique, tool and market positioning

Set up a working canvas at 300 dpi in a raster editor or a vector artboard in a vector tool and create a seamless repeating tile from a scanned hand motif

Use the offset or pattern-preview method to verify seamlessness and correct at least three visible seam errors

Create a five-colour indexed palette and recolour the same motif in three different colourways

Produce a digital colour-separated output for one design (one layer or file per colour) suitable for screen printing

Export the design at print resolution and at web resolution and note file format, resolution and colour-mode differences

Perform and record a fabric count, thread density and GSM calculation on three fabric samples with the formula written out

Carry out a simple colourfastness check (rub and wash) on your week-3 dyed samples and rate the result against a grey scale or a described 1-5 scale

Write a care-label recommendation for three fabrics covering wash temperature, bleach, iron and dry-clean symbols

List ten occupational hazards in a dyeing or printing workshop and match each to a control measure (ventilation, PPE, spill kit, MSDS)

Draft a one-page workshop safety and waste-disposal checklist covering dye effluent, mordant handling and chemical storage

Cost one design product end to end, computing material, labour, overhead, wastage and margin, and set a wholesale and retail price

Build a simple break-even calculation for a 50-piece production run and state the unit price needed at a chosen margin

Write a 200-word marketing note positioning your design line, naming the target customer, channel and one pricing strategy

Assemble the portfolio: select 10 best works, sequence them, write a 60-word caption for each and photograph flat work under even light

Prepare a 5-minute verbal walkthrough of the portfolio and rehearse it once aloud

Answer 60 mixed-domain practice questions under timed conditions and log every wrong answer with the correct concept

Revisit the two weakest domains from the practice log and redo one focused exercise in each

Recite from memory the colour-wheel relationships, repeat types, weave structures, Odishan craft names and costing formula

Finalise and rehearse the portfolio presentation to a strict 5-minute limit with all samples and files ready
