Drawing Project for KS3 Theme Tools- 4 Lessons
This is a project designed for KS3 it focuses on reminding about basic drawing skills and key words. I will be using this with a Year 8 class.
There are a range of activities from tracing, using a viewfinder, using a grid and observational drawing. As well as oil pastel mono-printing.
The activities are based around the theme of tools and inspired by Michael Craig Martin and Jim Dine.
Each lesson has a video tutorial to go with it which can be accessed on YouTube.
Students will learn about drawing, using proportion and scale, adding tone and shading.
Lesson 1- Creating a traced layered line drawing inspired by Michael Craig Martin, then line drawing activities.
Lesson 2- using a viewfinder and grid, drawing from observation and shading skills. Students create an extended line drawing piece.
Lesson 3- How to create an observational drawing from a photograph of a tool, photos included.
Lesson 4- How to use mark making to develop use of tone within your work. How to create an oil pastel mono-print from a photograph or your own drawing.
Keys words included- art, imagination,creativity, drawing, line, composition.
