Subject: Art, 5x Day Lesson (45 min.) Prepared By: Benjamin E. Hoffman, Student Art Teacher
Big Idea: Throughout time and across cultures, artists have had to
draw from observation as their immediate reference.
Key Concepts:
The contrast between light and shadow can easily define a change in shape.
Any object can be broken down into simple shapes keeping in mind its proportions.
The ways in which an image is rendered can transform its appearance from being two
dimensional to three dimensional.
Essential Questions:
How does drawing directly from observation differ than from drawing from a preexisting image?
Is one easier than the other, and for what reasons? Why?
How does drawing directly from observation impact how you would typically draw something
from your mind? Does it require more or less attention to detail? Why?
Specific Objectives:
Students will demonstrate their understanding of Shading with Colored Pencil through Drawing
and Shading an oversized Lego piece using previous knowledge of Cubes & Cylinders.
Students final artwork will illustrate a shoe or pair of shoes which will include the following:
o Attention to Detail & Accuracy in Shape
o Proper Colored Pencil Shading Techniques (Adequate Value)
Standards Addressed:
9.1.12.A Shape, Line, Proportion/Scale & Contrast
9.1.12.B Drawing from Direct Observation

Instructional Procedures
Motivation/Engagement/The Hook:
Every other day, students will complete a Bell Ringer which will allow students
to settle down as they enter the classroom. Examples include
drawing/rendering a sphere using Colored Pencil to reiterate any skills that
would benefit the project at hand. Following the completion of the students
Colored Pencil Shading Technique Worksheet, students would continue on
with the introduction to the oversized Lego piece tutorial.
Development:
Following the completion of the oversized Lego piece tutorial, students would
be introduced to their final artwork. Students will be illustrating a shoe using
skills in which they have already acquired. Following a teacher led
demonstration, students will first have to accurately draw the base of their
shoe sighting a flip flop as their reference. In doing such, the students can
then build upon their shoe having a predetermined base to work from. Upon
the completion of their drawing, students will use Colored Pencil to accurately
render the shoe and/or pair of shoes in which they have chosen. Using their
newest skill set of Tints & Shades, Highlights and Shadows, students will
accurately render their shoe to the best of their ability. Shadows beneath the
shoe will be optional for those who finish early.
Culmination/Close:
The goal of this lesson is to have students accurately render their shoe using a
vast skill set of Colored Pencil Shading Techniques. In addition, students are
to learn that a blue shoe for example has so many more colors imbedded than
just a single color. Upon the completion of this activity, students will compare
their initial Color Pencil Worksheet, Lego Tutorial and Final Artwork to
compare and draw upon their strengths and improvement from start to finish.
Students will reflect/assess their artwork by answering questions on CANVAS
before submitting.
