PAINTING (Drawing and Composition)
2.1 The purpose of the exam from "Painting" subject is to assess the applicant's abilities of volumetric space design and reproduction, creative, performance techniques, and envisages examination requirements for the performance of drawing tasks.
The "Painting" exam is conducted in two stages:
1st Stage - "Drawing"
073101.00.6 “Architecture” specialty applicants draw plaster heads.
Homer
Gattamelata
Socrates
The selection of plaster heads is implemented by lot.
The seats of the applicants, according to the numbered easels, are selected by lot.
8 hours are given for the fulfillment of the task (240 minutes + 60 minutes break + 240 minutes).
The task is performed
on A2 size drawing paper (Whatman) with graphite black pencils of different hardness.
2nd Stage - "Composition"
The task is performed
on A3 size drawing paper (Whatman) with graphite black pencils of different hardness.
4 hours are given for the fulfillment of the composition task (240 minutes).
One object from each group, that include three objects according to Appendix 1, is chosen by lot out of the twelve objects, which according to the features are included in the following 4 groups:
1st group: |
a) cube |
b) quadrangular pyramid |
c) hexagonal prism |
|
՝ 2nd group: |
a) sphere |
b) cone |
c) cylinder |
3rd group: |
a) circle |
b) triangular ruler |
c) cuboid |
4th group: |
a) torus |
b) tube |
c) tile |
With those objects they create the design of their own composition. It is allowed to use drawing tools for the work.
It is mandatory to use all the objects selected by lot at least once in the task, as well as maintain the shape, symmetry and integrity of the objects. Objects can be projected linearly, tonally and transparently․ In case of the absence of any of the 4 objects, the work will not be examined.
The average of the grades received by the applicants of the Faculty of Architecture in the two stages of "Composition" and "Drawing" is calculated, (in case of receiving a negative grade from either “Composition” or “Drawing”, the applicant is left out from the admission competition), as a result a general grade is assigned to the applicant for "Painting".
The pre-coded exam works are checked and assessed by the members of the Committee. 7.5 and higher points are considered positive (according to the RA Government Decision No. 597-N dated April 26, 2012). Assessment points are given preserving the decimal part and then averaged.

SKETCH DRAWING
Specialty Programme. (the samples in Appendix 1 and 2)
The exam of the subject “Sketch Drawing” is aimed at testing the applicants’ ability to perform graphic works, volumetric spatial perception and portrayal, as well as to assess the applicant’s knowledge and abilities in projection drawing, ability to accurately depict three-dimensional objects on a plane using the projection method, ability to accurately visualize and reproduce the original object in space using projection images. In addition to the above mentioned, it is also aimed at testing and assessing the abilities to perform geometric constructions.
The tasks and seats of the applicants are selected by lot. The duration of the exam is 4 hours (240 minutes). The task is performed on A2 size drawing paper.
The Exam Task.
The exam cards include tasks in projection drawing and geometric construction problems, which cover the following topics:
The exam cards include the following two tasks (Appendix 1 and 2):
