• Through observational drawing students look with a deeper consciousness, develop a new awareness of their surroundings, and develop perceptual skills needed to critically review the world around them.
• Students learn to make their contour drawings look three-dimensional by using value to create form.
• After exploring contour drawing and learning to control a pencil to create differentiated values, we are applying both skills to shade individual objects and create a whole compositional still life.
• This series builds on the previous one: exploring contour drawing, learning to control a pencil to create differentiated values, and learning to shade individual objects to create a whole compositional still life.
Students observe a chair in a room setting and apply their contour line drawing skills and shading skills to make this object look three-dimensional in a room context.
• This series builds on the previous ones: contour drawing, creation of differentiated values, use of shade to create a still life composition, and three-dimensional representation of an object in a setting. By closely studying the negative space, students can increase their observational skills and create a fine finished drawing.
• Students study color theory and create new color variations by mixing colors. Exercises include:
creating a color chart, blending of tints and shades, and working with complementary, analogous and warm
and cool colors. (Its preferable for students to use color pencils, but crayons may be used.)
• In our last session students explored color theory, created color variations by mixing complementary and analogous colors, and learned about warm and cool colors. In this sequence of art activities, students apply that knowledge to create compositions based on organic shapes.
• In our last sequence of art activities, students applied knowledge of color theory to create compositions based on organic shapes. In this sequence students apply color theory in color mixing exercises using geometric shapes. The exercises include creating a composition of geometric shapes that employs complementary and analogous colors.
• Previously, students learned to draw geometric solids. The aim now is to create a cityscape by stacking geometric solids on top of each other to create buildings for the topic: “Designing a Future City”.
• Students completed their pencil drawings for their Future City during our last session. In this next series, students apply color to those drawings. The colors used are limited to complementary colors plus one additional color and black & white. Tints and shades are used to create the illusion of depth and to express a mood in their drawings.
• The students already have learned about line and its importance in the creation of a work of art. The aim now is to use various types of lines to create textures that can be applied to a landscape composition.
• Using the texture landscape exercises they rendered in their last session, students now observe the way in which Vincent van Gogh used texture in creating landscape drawings. The students apply their textures to complete their landscape compositions.
• The students have already studied the Elements of Art: line, shape, color, form, texture, space, and value.
This week they begin the study of balance, which is one of the Principles of Art. The students explore
the principles of balance through the medium of collage.

...Students with different abilities can seek assistance from teacher, paraprofessional, or another student
...The students who finish early can ask a classmate if they need help or review
