Unit I
Relation between geometry and form. Introduction to point, line, plane, solid. Definition of geometrical drawing. Drawing lines and angles. Drawing shapes/ planar surfaces – triangle, square, rhombus, rectangle, polygon, hexagon, etc). Drawing of circles, tangents, curves, conic sections (hyperbola, parabola, ellipse). Construction of physical planar models of all the above. Viewing the physical planar models from different angles and sketching them with light and shade, shadow as a prelude to understanding the concepts of different types of projections and sciography. Introduction and explanation of terminologies – orthographic, isometric, axonometric, perspective projections and sciography.

Unit III
Introduction to geometric solids- cube, prism, pyramids, cones, cylinders. Generation of geometric solids through construction of physical models from lines and planar surfaces (including concept of development). Construction of block models of solids. Viewing the models from different angles and sketching them with light and shade, shadow in order to understand them in different types of projections. Drawing problems on orthographic, isometric and axonometric projection of solids of different types in different positions. Sciography for the same. Perspective projection of simple solids. Sciography for the same.
