Punjab PSEB Senior Secondary Drawing and Painting study plan

Name and demonstrate the seven elements of art (line, shape, form, value, texture, space, colour) by producing one labelled practice sheet per element

Mix a 12-step greyscale and a 12-hue colour wheel using poster and watercolour to compare pigment behaviour

Distinguish additive and subtractive colour mixing and record three practical consequences for palette work

Apply the principles of balance, rhythm and emphasis by sketching three thumbnail arrangements of the same three objects

Label a one-point perspective sketch with horizon line, station point, vanishing point and eye level

Construct one-, two- and three-point perspective grids from scratch without tracing

Draw a cube, a cylinder and a sphere in correct perspective and shade them with a single consistent light source

Explain and apply atmospheric perspective by rendering the same scene at three depth planes

Compose five thumbnail studies that each use a different compositional scheme (rule of thirds, golden section, diagonal, L-shape, triangular)

Identify and correct three common perspective errors in your own earlier drawings

Build a dated timeline from Indus Valley seals and Ajanta through Mughal, Rajput, Pahari, Company and Bengal School to post-independence modernism

Describe the subject matter, medium and patronage context of at least six representative works across those periods

Compare Mughal and Rajput miniature conventions of space, colour and portraiture in a written note

Explain the stylistic shift associated with the Bengal School and name its leading figures

Write concise exam-style identification notes for ten key works, each under 60 words

Chart the sequence from Egyptian and Greek through Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, Romantic, Realist, Impressionist and early modern movements

Match ten major Western artists to their movement, period and one characteristic technique

Contrast Indian miniature space with Renaissance linear perspective in a short comparative note

Explain how patronage and available materials shaped style in two chosen periods

Answer twenty rapid-recall questions from your own notes without reference material

Set up and light a still life of at least five objects with varied material, transparency and texture

Render the still life in graphite with a full ten-value range and consistent cast shadows

Complete a second still life in colour medium, mixing every observed hue rather than using tube colour directly

Draw a head from life or mirror in correct proportion using the standard facial division lines

Block in a half-length figure study with correct gesture and basic proportion

Sketch outdoors or from reference at three different times of day and record how light direction changes local colour

Render foliage using at least four distinct brush or pencil mark types to suggest mass and texture

Establish foreground, middle ground and background in a landscape using value and edge control

Paint a sky with graded wash and cloud forms without muddying the pigment

Complete one rapid 20-minute plein-air study and one resolved landscape

Generate ten thumbnail ideas for a single given theme and select one with written justification

Develop the chosen idea into a finished creative composition with a clear focal point and controlled colour scheme

Design a simple poster or illustration brief applying lettering, layout hierarchy and negative space

Produce a clean portfolio layout that sequences your strongest work with consistent mounting and labelling

Write a 100-word artist statement describing your process and intent

Revise all domain notes using spaced self-testing and log every weak area

Re-drill the ten most-missed facts until recalled correctly twice in a row

Complete two timed mock papers under exam conditions and mark them against your own rubric

Re-shoot or re-mount any portfolio piece that does not meet presentation standards

Write a one-page final checklist covering materials, timing and question strategy
