Drawing a point/dot

• A point itself has no size, every line consists
  of a point, so it is the founding element of
  everything. In architecture, an architect selects
  various points in the design space that should
  provide a certain space or outlook. They are used
  to create texture or form, and space.

Making a straight line

• A line is a continuous combination of dots, with
  an exact distance between each dot. Lines define
  and create shapes, forms and space. They are used
  to create texture, patterns, and color tones. Big
  architects use a different combination of lines
  can tell a different story each time.

Tracing a shape

• This is where the end of one line meets the
  beginning of another. Shapes can be of two types,
  geometrical and organic shapes. Geometrical
  shapes have exact angles at every edge, they
  include triangles, squares, circles, etc. Organic
  shapes do not have proper angles to their shapes
  and are meant to be natural.

Drawing a form

• Form is the three dimensional combination of
  dots, lines and shapes. Form has height, area,
  mass and more than one surface. Each surface of
  their form has a different view from each angle.
  There are two types of forms which are, Concrete
  form and Illusion form.

Painting in colours

• Color is one of the most expressive elements of
  architecture or design. The best architects in
  India use color to their advantage. Color gives
  life to elements and has the power to influence
  or bring out our feelings. The primary colors
  red, blue and yellow are the foundation of all
  other colors.
