Basics on Light and Shadow

Knowing where and how to draw light and shadows can turn shapes into forms, such as a circle into a sphere, and give your drawing life and depth. Figuring out where light and shadow is in your drawing isn't tricky, but it does take practice. In this guide, you’ll learn how to see the lights and shadows and how to transfer what you see to the paper.

Ahmedabad's NID enters new era for women

If numbers are anything to go by, National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad is set to enter a women’s era. The new academic year that commences from Monday will see 66% of girls in the undergraduate classes. This is a stark difference from an equal ratio of the genders seen in previous years. Numerically speaking, 66 of every 100 seats in the undergraduate courses will be occupied by girls, leaving only 34 for the boys.

“We are also surprised to see girl students in majority in the auditorium during the orientation programme,” said Dr Vijaya Deshmukh, registrar with NID. The two-day orientation programme for the undergraduate courses began on Thursday.

As per authorities, this higher ratio of girls is an interesting trend seen for the first time this year. Students had an interesting take on the situation. Delhi’ite and now a NIDian, Pragya Kain (20), attribute this trend to the fact that girls prefer creative and innovative streams of education over technical ones.

“From my school days, I have been observing that girls perform better than boys in exams, and even extracurricular activities. Moreover, girls are brighter when it comes to innovation and creativity. This increase (in girls at NID) also shows that they are getting more freedom to pursue a career of their choice,” said Kain, who left architecture to pursue design.

Another student, Sushant Arya, has a different take on the skewed ratio. He feels that boys generally opt for technical education, like architecture or engineering, and do not see design as a career.

“Probably, for this reason, more girls got admission here,” said Arya.

Faculties, who studied at NID, are happy with girl power reining at NID. “I don’t know what factored this trend but if more girl students take admission in NID, there might be a need to change infrastructure at the institute. This also shows that girls have started opting for professional courses as a serious career option,” said one of the professors at NID.
