Standards
2. Students know and apply the ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN,and the sensory expressive features of visual arts.
KFL-Students learn to Structure the elements and principles of design to communicate feelings.
Objective: Students learn to accurately see and copy edge lines. Students learn the expressive range of line quality.
Enduring Understanding
Students will learn to identify edges and draw them acurrately. This is a crucial first step in developing drawing skill.
Vocabulary
Line, Edge, reference, Draw, Line quality, structure
Understandings
Students will learn how to identify significant edges from a reference.
Students will learn how line quality affects the the feeling expressed by a drawing.
Skills
Students will learn to observe a reference, identify a significant edge, and accurately reproduce the line in a drawing.
Assessment
Pre instruction drawing, sketchbook execises, line drawing project.
