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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
