2D Design Activities: Line 1: Activity B. To practice looking at line, students will draw an “upside down drawing” projected onto the large screen. Teacher will use this drawing to assess each student’s ability to look carefully.

Line 2: Activity A. Students will use blind contour technique to draw their hand.

Line 2: Activity B. Students will use modified contour technique to draw their hand holding something.

Line 2: Activity C. Students will use gesture technique to draw their flowers.

Line 3: 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.

Line 3: Activity C. Students will draw a flower in a vase to practice techniques of contour drawing and hatching.

Line 4: Activity D. Students will draw the band room to practice techniques of contour drawing and hatching.

Line 6: Activity A. Students will combine part or all of their drawings to make a new composition.

Shape 2: Activity A. Students will learn to use a “unit” of measurement and a measuring tool.

Shape 3: Activity A. Students will draw a still life arrangement of a ladder, stools, and chair by drawing the negative shapes – the holes in the ladder, stools, and chair – to create an interesting composition.

Shape 4: Activity A. Students will draw organic objects arranged inside a box.

Figure 1: Activity C. Using head as unit of measurement, draw the “after” figure, using the proportions of “average” student model.

Figure 2: Activity D. Following overhead transparencies and teacher demonstration, students will make 5-minute gesture drawings of model in a variety of poses.

Figure 2: Activity E. Students will practice longer 20 minutes poses, starting with quick, lightly drawn gesture to capture pose, then, after checking proportions, contour line to capture edges of model. They will then shade and draw details.

Figure 3: Activity B. As teacher measures, students will draw proportions of face.

Figure 3: Activity D. Student will practice drawing and painting a portrait.

Ceramics 2: Lesson 1. Activity A. Research Prehistoric ceramics, make a design, and reproduce your favorite.

Ceramics 2: Lesson 3. Activity A. Search internet, view slides, read history pages, and look for examples in books and postcards of pre-columbian zoomorphic ceramics. Make sketches of your ideas.
