Subject: Drawing/Advanced Drawing |

1. Topic-
|
| Articulating Hands with Expression and Narrative |
| |
|
2. Content-
|
| Using charcoal on white paper, the students will learn how to articulate
hands correctly by sighting, measuring and the use of perspective.
By using charcoal sticks and pencils, they will learn to shade and
create depth while also being introduced to life drawing. They will
use their own hands as the model, so students will choose the composition
and then it will be approved by the teacher, as the teacher will be
taking a photo for them to be used as reference. |
| |
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1.To expand students knowledge by introducing drawing from life
rather than drawing only from references.
2.Give students more practice with charcoal. |
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1.To learn how to site and measure while drawing from life.
2.How to correctly indicate perspective with the help of sighting
and measuring.
3.To learn how to correctly shade and create value using charcoal. |
| |
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
-White Paper (AP - Gray)
-Charcoal sticks/pencils (AP also white charcoal)
-Kneaded/Rubber erasers
-Photo references
|

6. Procedures/Methods-
|

A. Introduction-
1 Introduce project by talking about hands. Talk about how they
can be just as expressive as the face.
2.Show printed examples of artists work and talk about more famous
artists (Caravaggio and Michelangelo) and show their work.
3.Explain the project. Also explain why charcoal is the chosen medium.
4.Students will have a few minutes to come up with ideas, so I can
take pictures for their reference the next day.
5.For rest of class, they will partner up and practice hand gesturing
with person across of them.

B. Development-
1.Start off with showing half finished demo on gray paper. But return
to blank paper to show how to get started from scratch and how to
sight and measure.
2.Return to half-finished demo and demonstrate how to articulate even
further.
3.Start with shading/value demo, but will return to it later in the
week after students have their ideas worked out on paper. (Note that
I will go into an AP demo showing them how to use the white conte
separately) |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1.Students will have a day to
practice gesturing with another student in the class while I take
pictures of the kid's ideas. |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1.For AP class, they will be working on gray paper instead of white
and will be given the choice to have either one or two hands.
2.They will also have to work with black and white charcoal sticks
and pencils. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1.Students should have a clear understanding on how to sight and
measure while drawing from life.
2.Students should also have an understanding on how to shade and articulate
value using charcoal. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
| 1.Class and I will have a group critique to discuss each others
work. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
1.Students should have a clear understanding on how to sight and
measure while drawing from life.
2.Students should also have an understanding on how to shade and articulate
value using charcoal.
3.Students should have created a strong composition showing expressive
hands or displaying a narrative. |
