2. Conceptualization and Visualization through structuring objects in memory. 
3. Drawing of patterns - both geometrical and abstract.
4. Form transformations in 2D and 3D like union, subtraction, rotation, surfaces and volumes.
5. Generating & identifying plan, elevation and 3D views of objects.
6. Creating 2D and 3D compositions using given shape and forms. Perspective drawing, Sketching of urban scape and landscape, Common day-to-day life objects like furniture, equipment, etc., from memory.

Geometric composition & Building forms

Geometric pattern & Abstract pattern

Urbanscape, Streetscape & Landscape sketches

Everyday objects & Furniture sketches

The drawing aptitude is judged on the following aspects -

1. Ability to sketch a given object proportionately and rendering the same in visually appealing manner;
2. Visualising and drawing the effects of light on the object and shadows cast on the object & its surroundings;
3. Sense of perspective drawing; from different angles.
4. Combining and composing given three dimensional elements to form a building or structural form;
5. Creating interesting two dimensional composition using given shapes and forms;and arranging them in context with principles of Design.
6. Creating visual harmony using colours in given composition with appropriate colour schemes;
7. Understanding of scale and proportions;
8. Drawing from memory, through pencil sketches on themes from day to day experiences.

NOTE:
