Two day transition: Shading to Perspective

We reviewed shading and making lights to mediums to darks flow

with both crayon and colored pencil last week. 

Before explaining perspective and delving in logistically  I developed this did this two day lesson  inspired by this Artsonia image I had pinned which was really successful! 

Pencils, black block crayons for rubbing, rulers, sharpies- that's it! 

In two days the students learned how to measure and use a ruler, create depth, learned more about Keith Haring, and reviewed figure drawing! Woo! 

Day one: Measure with ruler

Students had a practice manilla paper and real construction paper. 

This gave them four chances to get it right if they needed (2 sides, 2 papers)

which they appreciated.

Shading light to dark in each quadrant.

Day two: figure drawing review, viewed a short reel of Keith Haring videos I put together on youtube.

They had to do three practice figure drawing. 

Added on the figure and sharpied it in.

(The design at the top was so clever I could never have come up with this idea myself-

thank god for 10 year old minds!)

Next week I try out DMasse's blocks, projector, and whiteboard trick!

More images to come!
