DRAWING UNIT
Observation

What is the importance of observation?

What is the relationship between what we see and what we know?
How can we take things we see and apply them to art? Where do drawing skills
come originate?
What strategies can make drawing simpler?
How can observational strategies be used in everyday life?

Seeing the complex as simple parts and applying to mark making

Observational Drawing, Proportion, Gesture, Contour

Basic Forms, Linear Perspective
Multiple view drawings = Frontal, Profile, and Complex objects as simple forms,
and thumbnail plans
Proportion = Figure and facial proportional drawings
Contour = contour line and surface treatment and detail
Linear Perspective = 1-2 point perspective, horizon line, vanishing point,
convergence lines
Techniques used in pre-planning drawings in visual journal for research and
development
Adding surface designs to forms in sculpture
Breaking it Down: Techniques for drawing three-dimensionally
Body Language: The human figure as communication
What the World Needs: Design an artistic gadget with plans
Follow Me: Rhythms between form and surface
Simplified: simple forms that make up our complex world

Line and Space: Using linear perspective to generate geometric form

Art TEKS such as Digital, Painting, and Printmaking will be considered all inclusive TEKS. Painting and Printmaking will be seen as
ways of handling surface on three-dimensional objects and therefore will not have their own units. Similarly, the Digital TEKS will
be met on each assignment as students will use software to create, manipulate, and document their work digitally.
