Essential Questions: 1. Why do artists produce preliminary plans, and how does it differ working with subtractive techniques? 2. Why does a light source play such an important role while rendering? 3, What are the ways to analyze and discuss works of art?
Learning Objectives: -students will: 1. Develop knowledge pertaining to the art of charcoal mediums. 2. Comprehend aspects of rendering, shading, subtractive methods of art. 3. Strengthen drawing skills. 4. Apply new vocabulary to their works of art. 5. Working with multiple shades of value.
Enduring Understanding..... ? ~ How can we train the mind to work with the hand ~
Terms: Rendering: a work of visual art (esp. a detailed drawing) Chiaroscuro: the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting (Italian for "light-dark") Contrast: the degree of difference between tones Medium: "constraints"-art materials used Value: the degree of lightness or darkness in a color Subtractive drawing: the removal of charcoal (as preliminary sketching)
STEP 1: 1. Find a reference photo with a WIDE RANGE OF VALUE to draw from 2. PRACTICE sketching out your image (from reference photo) on a white scrap paper 3. Upload work to your DP/email me
STEP 2: 1. Begin sketching your final draft on toned paper WITH charcoal pencil ONLY (no graphite pencil) * draw lightly and gesturally /plan out composition, NO SHADING YET TIPS: * "Draw what you see, not what you think you see" * really think of the anatomy/form of the subject when you are drawing * remember: VALUE (the range from Light -> Dark) is what creates a realistic drawing 2. ?: why is a reference photo crucial? 3. Line quality demo/ 2 video + gestural drawing + blending
BEGINNING : FOCUS ON THIS: 1. draw gesturally FIRST, then refine 2. PLAY with line quality (maybe it's playing with the pressure of the pencil? Maybe that means shading in a different style than your usual go to)
END : FOCUS ON THIS: 1. go over areas you'd really like to 'pop' with value 2. erase areas you need darker value in and clean up borders etc.
“In drawing, as in life, you can get away with a great deal as long as you have your values right.” -Harley Brown

Essential Questions:
How can information be shared artistically?
How does value alter perspective in art?
Learning Objectives: Students will-
Use close observation to understand objective reality.
Comprehend and practice value, form and line.
Practice varied line quality
Understand drawing value in “reverse”
Terms: Value: the lightness or darkness of a color or shade. Contrast: the degree of difference between tones. Composition: the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole. Constraints: the materials used to create art
Constraints: - original or found photography (of an actual object/ or from life) - black drawing paper - white charcoal - eraser
CAS (Visual Arts)-Lesson Goals-State Standards
Standard 1: Observe and Learn to Comprehend *Use the visual arts to express, communicate, and make meaning To perceive art involves studying art; scrutinizing and examining art; recognizing, noticing, and seeing art; distinguishing art forms an subtleties; identifying and detecting art; becoming skilled in and gaining knowledge of art; grasping and realizing art; figuring out art; and sensing and feeling art.
1.3: Art and Design have purpose and function
Standard 2: Envision and Critique to Reflect *Articulate and implement critical thinking in the visual arts by synthesizing, evaluating, and analyzing visual information. To value art involves visualizing, articulating, and conveying art; thinking about, pondering, and contemplating art; wondering about, assessing, and questioning art concepts and contexts; expressing art; defining the relevance, significance of, and importance of art; and experiencing, interpreting, and justifying the aesthetics of art.
2.1: Reflective strategies are used to understand the creative process. 2.2: A personal philosophy of art is accomplished through use of sophisticated language and studio art processes.
