Draw your way out of a paper bag… Developing representational drawing skills is important to any art student.  The skill of drawing is developed by practicing. If you challenge yourself to draw difficult subject matter you may surprise yourself with how well you do!

S C A L E 4 - Students will learn how the element texture is related to the element value.  Students will create a graphite drawing of brown paper bags that they arrange in a still life. Student made daily progress while showing exemplary effort. Student needed no redirection to be on task. 3 - LEARNING GOAL: Students will learn how the element texture is related to the element value.  Students will create a graphite drawing of brown paper bags that they arrange in a still life. Student made daily progress while showing appropriate effort. Student needed no redirection to be on task. 2 - Students will learn how the element texture is related to the element value. Students will create a graphite drawing of brown paper bags that they arrange in a still life. Student’s daily progress was inconsistent. Student needed some redirection to be on task. 1 - Students will learn how the element texture is related to the element value. Students will create a graphite drawing of brown paper bags that they arrange in a still life. Student’s daily progress was unsatisfactory. Student needed consistent redirection to be on task.

Why are we doing this? The key to drawing realistic texture lies in value.  Creating an accurate light source and translating accurate values will result in a representational drawing with convincing texture.

Students will receive three brown paper bags Students will receive three brown paper bags.  Students will construct a still life using the three paper bags.  The teacher should encourage the students to crumple the bags to create interesting textures.  Students will draw the paper bags from observation with an emphasis on creating a representational drawing.

Students will work while the teacher walks around and monitors progress. Students will have 7 days to complete the assignment.
