puncturing the cube using cube or cuboid form.
All the cube and cuboids that come out through the cutting
of the main 10x10x10 inch cube should be used to recreate a
new structure.

ASSIGNMENT 2: Draw a memory sketch on any topic and
write a brief describing the lines, placement, purpose and
influence. [A4 Sketchbook]
ASSIGNMENT 3: Draw a memory sketch that shows you
waiting for a vehicle (bus, taxi, train, car etc.) and write a

A PICTURE FOR INSPIRATION/INFLUENCE
ASSIGNMENT 5: On different A4 sheets, draw 15*15cm
boxes and in these boxes draw vertical, horizontal, diagonal,
curved lines (SHOULD BE PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER). These
lines are to be drawn freehand and with gradual increasing
intensities. Use pencil grade B or 2B. [A4 Sketchbook] Circle
your mistakes and write the total number of circles next to
the box.
ONE BOX ONLY FOR VERTICAL LINES, ONE BOX ONLY FOR
HORIZONTAL LINES, ONE BOX ONLY FOR DIAGONAL AND
ONE BOX FOR CURVED LINES)
