Intro Drawing Unit: Line, Marks and Value, Oh My!


 Introduce your students to LINES, MARKS and VALUE in a fun a way that encourages exploration and play while being chock-full of information and skill builders!

There are FIVE sheets of skill builders that will get your students understanding LINE, MARK-MAKING and VALUE--each with mini activities for hands-on learning and to increase student engagement and understanding!

LINE:

  • Exploring different types of line in art
  • What is contour line?
  • Drawing with your eyes closed!

MARK-MAKING:

  • Exploring mark-making (ideas for using found objects or scratch art)
  • Mark-making value scale

VALUE:

  • What is a value scale?
  • Value scale practice and shading a sphere
  • Value challenge: Exploring the ways value can be made

This packet also contains a culminating actvity where students can explore different drawing materials and make Material Mark Cards. This activity is fun and allows students to practice what they've learned about LINE, MARK-MAKING and VALUE in a fun, low-stress way. I use stations for this, but you can set it up however you'd like.

All handouts are digitized for clarity and I've even included my tips and tricks to get you started.

More Robot Art: Harvey Moon's Drawing Machines

Well, you know I created a scribbling art bot the and posted about it the other day...well, I was looking around on youtube and saw this AMAZING video about Harvey Moon--an artist is Chicago who uses robots to draw for him. This would be an awesome video to show your students as part of a mark-making unit where they explore mark-making with a variety of traditional and nontraditional tools (flyswatters, anyone?!) and then build and use robots to make marks. Of course, what Moon is doing goes WAY beyond my humble art bot!


Enjoy!
