Introduction to Drawing LESSON UNITS:
Lesson: Pre & Post Assessment Hand Drawings
Elements and Principles of Art: Line, Shape Space, and Balance National Core Arts Standards: Through experimentation, practice, and persistence, demonstrate acquisition of skills and knowledge in a chosen art form. Objective: Students will be able to execute an observational drawing of their hand by applying their knowledge of a variety of art making approaches and techniques to demonstrate competency in the drawing techniques taught throughout the course. Enduring Understanding: Artists and designers experiment with forms, structures, materials, concepts, media and art making approaches. Essential Questions: How do artists work? How do artists and designers determine whether a paticular direction in their art is effective? How do designers and artists learn from trial and error. Resources:
Lesson: Grid Drawings
Elements and Principles of Art: Line, Shape Space, and Balance Objective: By completing the activities in the unit of study, students will be able to successfully transfer an image using grid drawing techniques and will be able to demonstrate competency in rendering accurate contour lines while focusing on proportions, size, and scale. National Core Arts Standards: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices to plan works of art and design. Enduring Understanding: Artists and designers shape artistic investigations, following or breaking with traditions in pursuit of creative art making goals. Essential Questions: How does knowing the contexts, histories, and traditions of art forms help us to create works of art and design? Why do artists follow or break from established from established traditions? How do artists determine what resources and criteria are needed to formulate artistic investigations? Resources:
Lesson: Graphite Rendering
Elements and Principles of Art: Line, Shape, Value, Form, Space, Contrast, Balance, Emphasis, and Unity National Core Arts Standards: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices, following or breaking established conventions, to plan the making of multiple works of art and design based on a theme, idea, or concept. Objective: At the end of the unit, students will be able to produce a photo realistic, observational drawing demonstrating competency in the skill shading. Enduring Understanding: Creativity and innovative thinking are essential life skills that can be developed. Essential Questions: What conditions, attitudes, and behaviors support creativity and innovative thinking? What factors prevent or encourage people to take creative risks? How does collaboration expand the creative process? Resources:

How does collaboration expand the creative process? Resources:
Lesson: Two Point Perspective with Value
Elements and Principles of Art: Line, Shape, Value, Form, Space, Contrast, Balance, Emphasis, and Unity National Core Arts Standards: Choose from a range of materials and methods of traditional and contemporary artistic practices, following or breaking established conventions, to plan the making of multiple works of art and design based on a theme, idea, or concept. Objective: By the conclusion of the unit activities, students will be able to create a work of art that demonstrates competency in the skills of shading and perspective drawing. Enduring Understanding: Creativity and innovative thinking are essential life skills that can be developed. Essential Questions: What conditions, attitudes, and behaviors support creativity and innovative thinking? What factors prevent or encourage people to take creative risks?

Sketchbook Assignments:
- - - -First S k e t c h b o o k A s s i g n m e n t - - "Directional Lines"
Unlike the expressive, directional lines are very precise. Lines should all be the same thickness. These lines look as if they are bending and overlapping. This is not "free" like expressive lines) but calculated constant, and even.
*Teaching Points: Rhythm, repetition, angle, direction, pos/neg shapes, composition
Unlike the expressive, directional lines are very precise. Lines should all be the same thickness. These lines look as if they are bending and overlapping. This is not "free" like expressive lines) but calculated constant, and even.
- Start anywhere on your paper. Move in a certain direction. stop and begin in a new direction
- Keep lines in a group the same distance apart.
- Try to go in every direction at least once
- Assignment should be completed in Black and white
*Teaching Points: Rhythm, repetition, angle, direction, pos/neg shapes, composition

Two techniques to practice that make objects in your drawing look closer or further away:
Warning: If the bottom of your front object is higher than the one behind it, your front object will appear to be floating in the air! |
