In the course Visualization Drawing 202, the focus would be to hone our abilities to draw three-dimensional forms with accuracy and precision rather than realism, (which is usually perceived by most of the novices as the definition of good drawing). This perception induces a fear in them to consider the act of drawing as an inborn talent, which cannot be attained by practice. 
The course does not seek an expressive or subjective representation of the form. Instead, our aim is to develop our ability to represent the structure of a given form. Your knowledge of perspective drawing is a prerequisite for this course. At rudimentary levels of the course, we will engage in seeing and drawing the provided artifacts, until we develop the ability to draw basic three-dimensional forms with precision. In the advanced levels of the course, we will be challenged to visualize an element on the artifact, either to replace the existing element or think of an additional element. For example, if the artifact is a mug we would try to visualize a new handle for the mug. This act will be recorded as drawing of the new visualized mug (a new form).

Assignment:

Task 01: Draw a cube with closed eyes. This act will help us understand how one visualizes the structure in the mind, when the task to draw a three-dimensional form is given. “This technique gives us a practice in visualizing a shape with concentration and makes positive lines in the right place”, (Robin Capon, 1993)4.

Task 02:
In a given rectangle, draw three lines which converge at a single point. It is mandatory that the three lines should touch three different sides of the rectangle and form approximately equal angles amongst them i.e., 120° each. Create alternatives with orienting those three lines at different positions of the given format, so that they are perceived as three different planes with varied area proportions. Shade each plane with an ascending degree of gradations increasing the percentage of grey from 20° to 40° to 70° with a pencil.

Stationery: 
• Pencils: 4B, 6B, or Staedtler Lumograph 6B  (you need more control over your hand while handling Staedtler Lumograph 6B. The pencil is very smooth and quickly creates dark    tones).
• Paper:  10, A4 size, Alabaster Papers (100 gsm)
