For the Form & Aesthetics course, guided by Prof. Sabhyasachi Paldas, we explored the realms of 2D and 3D by first starting with dots to planes, then 2 and a half D to 3 Dimensional forms and finally to forms that solve a purpose.
The step-by-step learning and understanding led to great insights. Following are some of the exercises attempted by me below-
