STEP TWO
Teacher demonstration of improvisational drawing with charcoal and erasers on paper.
Students practice improvisational drawing in their DW and on newsprint.Slide9
STEP THREE
The students will record three important facts about the agreed subject and draw 3 quick thumbnail sketches in their
DWs for homework.Whole group discussion about DW homework on the following period. The students will begin formatting their mental approach for the drawing.Slide10
STEP FOUR (Begin the final drawing)
1) Choose your group.
2) Draw the subject largely onto a large piece of paper.3) Section off the subject one section for each group member.4) Draw symbols in your section for 10 minutes and rotate one space to the left.5) Draw over and into your new section. You may modify,
alter, accentuate, and add to what the previous artist has done. Draw for 5 to 10 minutes before rotating left again.Slide11

6) After symbols fill each section, erase out thick lines that make geometric and biomorphic shapes.7) Outline these shapes with charcoal.8) After each section has been filled with these thick lines and shapes, erase new lines on top and through what is in each section. With the newly erased lines, have them connect to the adjacent sections in order to unify the piece.Slide12

9) Outline and blend with charcoal. Be careful to not lose your lighter values and make everything too gray and black.10) Write a statement about the subject around the shape of the bat.11) Color a 2 to 3 inch swathe of water-soluble oil pastels around the bat.12) Add water to the color with paintbrushes and blend it out to edges of the paper.13) Outline the negative space inside the bat with color and blend with water.
14) Sign it on the back after drying and hang!Slide13
