Aesthetic Sensitivity

Questions in this section will test the candidates on their:

  • Aesthetic Perception, Imagination, and Observation
  • Creativity and Communication
  • Imaginative comprehension and expression
  • Visualizing different sides/surfaces of three-dimensional objects
  • Visualizing three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional drawings
  • Identifying commonly used materials and objects based on their textural qualities
  • Analytical Reasoning - Mental Ability

Part - B: Drawing Aptitude

The Drawing Aptitude Test evaluates the candidates on the following:

  • Understanding of scale and sense of proportion
  • Ability to sketch a given object proportionally and rendering the same in a visually appealing manner
  • Sense of Perspective Drawing
  • Visualising and drawing the effects of light on the objects and their shadows cast on the surroundings.
  • Combining and composing given three-dimensional elements to form a building or structural form
  • Creating visual harmony using colors in a given composition
  • Creating interesting two-dimensional compositions using given shapes or planner forms

Thus, the questions will be asked accordingly.
