These techniques are great for learning how to “paint” with the medium. One on one clarification – handouts – visual guides – lots of demonstrations.By Robert Sloan in Art Tutorials > Drawing TipsĪlmost all colored pencil instructional books cover topics like varying pressure, burnishing, blending, edging, lifting, and etc. Quiz on Unit over elements and principles of design.ĪCCOMMODATIONS / MODIFICATIONS FOR DIVERSE LEARNERS (Second language, LD, gifted, etc.). Have students fill out Self-Assessment Rubric. Spend time talking about the background – balance, space, unity.ĬLOSURE (summary, wrap-up, set for next lesson). * You could even do sign language hand gestures. Įxplain how to rub and transfer their contour drawings of hands onto colored paper.ĭO Not allow them to use simple, flat hand gestures – They need to be EXPRESSIVE. Look at examples of the Hands in art (see this lesson page for examples). Students write a reflection piece about their drawing. * Each Step can be done on different days – explain how each step incorporates elements/principles they've talked about. * Introduce Space – Element of Design – make sure they understand the difference between positive and negative space. * Introduce the Expressive Contour Hands project – Go through Project Guidelines with class. * Introduce Unity – talk about how all artwork should strive for Unity and that it is one of the Principles of Designs. * Introduce balance – Talk about the three types – Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial balance – Do activity involving balance. * Have one day devoted to regular contour drawings, then one day doing continuous line drawings – then one day doing blind contour drawings – this can be fun and challenging for students. * Students will start doing contour drawings of objects around the room – give demonstration – draw what you see – observe – Explain that hand-eye communication is important. * Talk about contour drawings – have examples up and ready to show - give definition – explain there are different kinds of contour drawings – continuous line, blind-contour drawings. * Introduce movement – have a sketchbook or journal assignment that incorporates movement - tie it in with a line activity. * examples of artwork from artists that make use of line – Leonardo – Picasso - Matisse - explain their style * Talk about line – it is an element of design – do line activities that involve using a variety of line – explain line quality – means thickness and thinness of lines.
