After setting expectations for the semester, and communicating with Mrs. Stapels on what she wanted from this experience, we decided it would be worthwhile to teach the students some basic drawing skills. This would be a foundational lesson that would help students develop and apply these skills to their future projects. To get their creative juices flowing, I gave them three prompts to choose from. These were the prompts:
After the warm-up, I wanted to teach them different ways they could fill the space of whatever it is they are drawing. We folded a paper into quarters and filled 3 of the 4 quarters with a different drawing technique: circling, hatching, cross-hatching. For the fourth quarter, I showed them how to draw a tree -- the way a tree grows. I was so impressed with their abilities to pick up these skills!
To wrap up the lesson, we went back to our warm-up drawings. I invited them each to choose one or two skills they learned from the lesson and apply it to their drawing. I felt like this was a great way to wind things down and bring everything full circle. This was different than what I had originally planned. I was going to have them draw something completely new. If we had more time, it would have been a good activity, but either way, I'm glad I had them go back to their original drawing. I'm grateful I learned the lesson to go with the flow, be flexible, and open to new ideas and different things to do in the moment!
