The Monsoon Semester of the CEPT Foundation Programme inculcates foundational design skills through sequential exercises focused on perfecting freehand and perspective drawing, visualizing and drawing complex compositions. Students learn to make technical drawings using orthographic projections, surface development and exploded views of complex objects; develop the skill of estimating sizes and begin to engage with anthropometrics. Ordering principles, colour theory, imaginative drawing and deciphering and interpreting styles help them develop more complex skills. Alongside, parallel exercises focus on describing objects and presenting their own work in writing, while guest speaker lectures offer exposure to other disciplines.

Line rendering has been used. The value of the render has been controlled by controlling the line density.

Drawing objects freehand not only improved drawing skills it also increased understanding of perspective and isometric views.

Different line intensity were used to increase the readability of these technical drawings. (light lines for construction and dark lines for the plan and sections)

Half cuts were used to make the curved surface of the cone as the material used (Card paper) did not allow smooth folds.

The mechanical gear of the lever when turned with respect to the grooves on the rotating handle allowed the corkscrew to move forwards and backwards.

In the bottom right picture, even though the diamond patches are of different color and patterns, they follow the same design language and hence it gives a strong sense of unity.

In the pixelated sheet, even though the colors of two adjacent boxes were same transition shades were used to bring out the gradient in certain places.

The color palette for the poster was inspired by the buddhist monk's kasaya.

Play of light and shadow was used to enhance the feeling of depth in these quick perspective sketches that were made on site.

Human body was used as a tool to gauge sizes of spaces and household objects.
