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.

It's necessary to understand the structure of an object from all sides. Surface development, a process to understand how the actual making of an object takes place was done in this module.

Free hand drawing helped in understanding the basics of lines, shapes, perspectives and different rendering techniques.

All parts of a perforator were dismantled and drawn in the same way as it opened up. Helped in understanding the object, its parts, materials and working mechanism in detail.

Involved trying out different colour schemes on digitally done assemblages in isometric as well as one and two point perspective views.

Exploration of different hues and tints, by pixelating images, making swatches and a moodboard too.

Making plans and sections of objects and spaces by gauging their sizes instead of measuring them. A strenous task, but a great one to help sharpen judgement and understand relative sizes.

Learning the styles and characteristics. Analysing through research on the materials, colour, texture etc and coming up with an object design. An invite for an event was also made using the same process but based on architect Geoffery Bawa.

An amalgamation of works that show experimentation with different mediums, styles and a digital trial as well.
