UNIT: Observational Drawing - Perspective - Charcoal - Interiors
Lesson: Interior Linear Line Extension Drawing
Grade Level: High School
Objective:
Students will create two extended linear line
drawings. Students should focus on perspective and depth in their
compositions. Each student will be expected to complete one
drawing in charcoal and one in paint.
You should begin by finding an interesting and complex area in the
classroom. Build a foundation for your drawing with straight
lines that build a framework for your final piece. The final work
should allow the lines to breathe. Both works must incorporate
the lines. If you choose to complete a third drawing, the lines
are optional.
