CAS Lesson Plan
 Rationale for Art Experience

The purpose of this lesson plan was to give the students a

chance to sketch and practice two-dimensional art since a
majority of the previous lessons had been more three -
dimensional work. Students were given the freedom to choose
a sketch that was already made out of there sketchbook and
enlarge it on 18x24 paper using two or more different
mediums.
