Punjab PSEB Matric Mechanical Drawing and Painting study plan

Punjab PSEB Matric Mechanical Drawing and Painting · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Orthographic projection: points, lines and planes & Drawing instruments, materials and standard conventions

  • Set up and label a drawing board with T-square, set squares, drawing sheet fixed by tape, and identify each instrument's function in writing

  • Construct and bisect a line, an angle and an arc using compass and set squares, showing construction arcs and centre lines

  • Project a point in all four quadrants and state its distances from HP and VP in a table

  • Draw the projections of a straight line in the three standard positions (parallel to one plane, inclined to one plane, inclined to both planes)

  • Apply the correct line convention (visible, hidden, centre, construction) to every line in the week's sheets

Your checkpoint

A 6-sheet portfolio: instrument-labelled board setup sketch, 3 construction-geometry sheets, and 3 line-projection sheets with a distance table for each line

Week 2

Orthographic projection: points, lines and planes & Lettering, dimensioning and line work

  • Project a plane surface (triangle, square, pentagon) parallel to HP, perpendicular to VP and inclined to one plane

  • Solve at least four problems where a plane is inclined to both HP and VP using the change-of-position method

  • Letter a title block and 10 notes in single-stroke vertical capitals at 10 mm, 7 mm and 5 mm heights with consistent stroke weight

  • Dimension five drawings using aligned dimensioning with arrowheads, extension lines, gap from object and unit convention

  • Redraw one earlier incorrect sheet with corrected line work and dimension placement

Your checkpoint

A 4-sheet plane-projection set plus a lettering-and-dimensioning sheet scored against a self-made checklist of 10 line and dimension rules

Week 3

Projection of simple solids and sectional views & Orthographic projection: points, lines and planes

  • Draw the three views of a prism, pyramid, cylinder and cone standing on HP, with correct hidden lines

  • Project solids with the axis inclined to HP and to VP, one sheet per case

  • Construct true shape of a section for a cut plane perpendicular to VP on a square pyramid and a cylinder

  • Draw the true shape of a cut face on an inclined plane for at least two solids

  • Check every sheet for view alignment and projection-line correspondence before filing

Your checkpoint

A 6-sheet solids portfolio: 4 basic solid sheets and 2 sectional-view sheets each containing the true-shape construction

Week 4

Projection of simple solids and sectional views & Isometric and oblique projection

  • Produce a full section (front view cut, hatched section, top view) of a hexagonal prism cut by a plane inclined to HP

  • Identify and draw the four standard isometric axes and construct an isometric scale to measure off true lengths

  • Convert three orthographic view sets into isometric drawings of simple blocks

  • Draw isometric views of a cylinder and a cone showing elliptical faces correctly

  • Compare isometric and oblique cavalier/cabinet projection of the same block on one sheet

Your checkpoint

A timed 90-minute mock test: one sectional view of a solid plus one isometric conversion from given views, both finished to line-convention standard

Week 5

Isometric and oblique projection & Development of surfaces and intersections

  • Draw oblique projection of two objects, one with the receding axis at 45 degrees and one at 30 degrees, applying half-scale for cabinet

  • Develop the lateral surface of a cylinder, cone, square prism and square pyramid by parallel-line and radial-line methods

  • Develop the surface of a truncated cone and a truncated prism, marking the cut line on the development

  • Locate the line of intersection of two cylinders of unequal diameter and of a cylinder meeting a square prism

  • Transfer the intersection curve onto the development of the intersected solid

Your checkpoint

A 5-sheet set: 1 oblique sheet, 3 development sheets and 1 intersection-plus-development sheet with the curve transferred

Week 6

Painting: colour theory and medium handling & Freehand sketching and object drawing

  • Mix a 12-step value scale and a 12-hue colour wheel in poster colour, labelling primary, secondary and complementary pairs

  • Demonstrate tint, shade and tone by painting five graded swatches of one hue

  • Practise three medium-handling techniques: flat wash, wet-in-wet and dry brush, on one practice sheet each

  • Sketch freehand cubes, cylinders and a drapery fold in pencil, keeping proportion without instruments

  • Sketch a simple household object from observation in three tonal values

Your checkpoint

A colour workbook containing the value scale, colour wheel, tint/shade chart and three technique swatches, plus 5 freehand object sketches with tonal shading

Week 7

Painting composition, still life and nature study & Painting: colour theory and medium handling

  • Compose a three-object still life with a clear light source and identify the highlight, mid-tone, core shadow, reflected light and cast shadow on each object

  • Block in and finish the still life in poster colour, keeping the light direction consistent across all objects

  • Paint a nature study (leaf, fruit or flower) with attention to local colour and colour of shadow

  • Apply warm-cool contrast and atmospheric perspective in a simple outdoor sketch composition

  • Evaluate two of your own paintings against a 5-point checklist of composition, value, colour harmony, edges and light logic

Your checkpoint

Two finished paintings: one still life in poster colour and one nature study, each with a written self-critique of 100 or more words

Week 8

Painting: colour theory and medium handling & Painting composition, still life and nature study & Development of surfaces and intersections

  • Complete two full-length timed papers under exam conditions, one drawing paper and one painting paper

  • Revisit the two weakest sheets from weeks 1 to 7 and redo them to the standard of the best sheet

  • Revise all standard conventions from memory: line types, dimension rules, section hatching angle and spacing, isometric scale

  • Prepare a final one-page checklist of common errors and verify each finished sheet against it

Your checkpoint

Two completed timed mock papers plus a corrected redo of the two weakest sheets and a one-page error checklist

Milestones

Week 2: Can project a point, line and plane in all standard positions without referring to notes, and every line on the sheets is drawn in its correct convention

Week 4: Scores at least 70 percent on the timed sectional-plus-isometric mock test, with view alignment and hatching judged correct

Week 6: Colour wheel and value scale show 12 distinct hues and 12 even steps, and freehand sketches hold proportion without instruments

Week 8: Both timed mock papers finished within time, with no unresolved error on the checklist and all redo sheets at best-sheet standard
