Unit: Unit 3: Value (Week 10, 5 Weeks)

Individual Map
Big Ideas / Understandings / Essential Questions Students will learn basic shading techniques to assist them in creating small scale compositions within a larger composition through the use of value. Students will be introduced to common artists' supplies and pencil types and they will have the opportunity to use these supplies while creating their work. Students will learn to make sound compositional choices by cropping their still life (project from the previous unit) to create interesting/different compositions/ shapes. Time will play a large factor in this unit because good value in an artwork is only achieved through discipline, hard work and patience. Content Consensus Skills
