  1. Field Visits and Report writing/ documentation: Pacaging industries, Paper Making workshops, printing presses, museums, melas, festivals etc.
  2. Project Work: One project in a year where students will identify and pick up a particular design problem or something that they consider a design problem; work on that problem and produce works. Students should be encouraged to take up problems from their own environment like, annual day, sports, meet, function/festivals, school building, signs, communication in the school etc.
  3. Work Study: Study of works of any great/ known designer (national or international).
(Students will work individually on their assignments most of the time, but they will have the opportunity at times to work together to solve problems if the situation arises. It is essential that students should work on their projects during their designated class periods. Students are expected to have a certain number of assignments done by midterms or end of the quarter in order to receive grade/ marks. Students are evaluated according to how well they meet the criteria of creativity, accuracy, execution etc.)Portfolio:Yearly submission of portfolio consisting of selected works (min. no 20) produced during the year. The works should be rich in terms of material exploration and visual impact.(Students will each develop a portfolio that reflects and intermediate to advanced level of artistic perception, expression, historic and cultural understanding, aesthetic valuing, and an ability to connect their artistic skills to many art related careers, and develop competencies in problem solving, communication, time management and resources. Students are expected to submit acceptable work at the end of academic year. If an assignment is considered unacceptable, the students will be asked to complete and resubmit their work.
