My Lesson Plans
Exploring Line as a Formal Element
Students have been practicing line work, focusing on achieving different line weights and pressures.
- Understand how line weight and movement can create visual effects such as fluidity.
- Explore how artists like Shantell Martin use line to convey form and movement.
- Develop individual creative expression through line-based art.
Mouth Drawing Techniques
Students have used a grid to create a pen mouth drawing, focusing on proportions and pen work.
- Simplify complex features (mouths) into basic shapes.
- Apply observational drawing techniques to achieve accuracy.
- Enhance drawings with shading using hatching techniques.
Wax Transfer and Graphite Transfer Refinement
This lesson builds upon prior knowledge and skills developed in previous lessons, where students were introduced to both carbon paper and graphite transfer techniques. In the last lesson, students learned how to use carbon paper for transferring an image and practiced applying a graphite transfer to their own artwork.
Colour Manipulation Inspired by Fernando Vicente
Students have been exploring Fernando Vicente’s work, focusing on his use of colour and technique in creating artist copies using acrylic paint. In this lesson, they will transition to digital work, applying Vicente’s style to their own photographs using Photoshop.
Digital Illusion Art
Students previously worked on Josef Albers-inspired paper-cutting tasks and creative photography techniques, introducing abstract visual representation and spatial manipulation. This lesson builds on those skills by exploring digital tools to create visual illusions, focusing on the manipulation of shapes to challenge perception.
