The Monsoon semester focuses on equipping students with various techniques to visualise, draw and represent. The students also start to engage with existing buildings to identify various building elements, basic construction materials and methods. They practise and work intensively to perfect their freehand drawing and perspective drawing, to visualize and draw complex compositions. They also learn to make technical drawings using orthographic projections, surface development and the exploded view of a complex object. A series of exercises in sketching will enable the students to sketch freely in order to observe, document, imagine and improvise.The exercise on gauging sizes will develop the habit of estimating sizes using one’s body and through it the students will begin to engage with the concept of anthropometrics. Through the exercise on building elements and materials the students will start to engage with existing buildings to decipher their building elements and materials and understand the sequence of construction. In the last exercise the students will go through the process of documenting an existing building and making a set of architectural drawings.

The left image is a 2 point perspective painted using poster colours in analogous colour scheme. The top right image is 1 point perspective drawn free hand and the bottom right image is 2 point perspective.

A part of the colour theory exercise, the picture on the right is a painted pixelated version of the image on the left. The medium is poster colours on paper.

The image on the left shows the section and plan of my bedroom. The smaller images are various objects and furniture found in the bedroom drawn to scale. They are a part of the gauging exercise.

The top image is the exploded view of a shower head along with explanations of each part. The bottom left image are the detailed sketches. The last image shows the actual dismantled shower.

The top right image is the drafted section of my building. The rest are images of the model of the same section. A couple of zoomed in images are also shown.

The image on the left is the drafted surface development of a truncated pentagonal prism. The accompanying image is the model made of the same.

The image on the left is the drafted surface development of hinged truncated hexagonal prism. The images on the right are of the model of the same.

The first exercise of technical drawing is drafted in the left image. It is the orthographic view of the matchbox model on the right.

This slide is an arrangement of 6 different types of subtractions in various solids. They are drawn free hand.

Both the images are a 3D view of my neighborhood focusing mainly on the various activities occurring daily. A legend on the right explains all the symbols used.
