A 7 week art unit for Year 6 pupils on how detail is created in drawings to make them realistic. Includes a planning document, smartboard slides (free software for this can be downloaded online) and all worksheets required. This unit aims for children to: Understand the qualities of different drawing media and evaluate their effectiveness for different tasks. Know how to use techniques to show light and shade. Understand proportions of faces and how to use the grid method to draw accurately. Know different grades of pencils 2H, HB, B, 2B, 4B and 6B and select these for purpose. Know about the work of Leonardo Da Vinci and compare these to modern artists such as Hector Gonzalez. Drawing can lead to a range of jobs such as architecture, fashion designing, interior designer and illustration. The end goal which can be used as an assessment piece is for the children to create a sketched self-portrait with accurate proportion, shape and space and well as using graphite pencil shading techniques to add light, shadow, tone and texture to their sketch.
