Lesson 3:  How do you create shading with ink line?

Activity A.  Students will learn to use hatching and cross hatching to create value.  They will practice the techniques by drawing crumpled paper, rubber insects and animals. H.9.1

Activity B.  Students will learn to use cross contour line to create shading on curved surfaces.  After practicing the techniques students will draw the arm of the person opposite to capture the folds in their shirt or sweater. H.9.1 , H.7.1

Activity C.  Inspired by the work of Giorgio Morandi, students will draw a flower in a vase to practice techniques of contour drawing and hatching. H.7.1 , H.9.1, H.2.2

Materials:  Drawing paper, roller ball or ball point pens, objects like rubber insects, rubber animals, shells, dried plants, etc.  Overhead transparencies of contour drawing.

Evaluation:  Drawings will be evaluated according to creativity and mechanics (careful use of contour, hatching, crosshatching, and cross contour techniques).
