9/10-9/11

DoNow: Create a symbol/ design with your initials.
A1: Still Life Drawings (station 1)
A2: Ladder to Success Drawing (station 2)
(The class was split up into smaller groups to complete each task. Halfway through the class, the groups switched stations.)

Notes on board:
* Composition- How you place your image on the paper. How much of he object do you see? What do you want the viewer to focus on? (ie. centered vs off-centered; zooming in = intimate, up close and personal...)

* Point of View- Where you are looking from conveys a meaning. How does your Point of View impact your drawing? (ie. are you below it, looking up? are you looking down on it?...)

Objectives:
Students will observe inanimate objects while drawing them with great detail (a still life drawing)
Students will practice using both composition and point of view to create a balanced, meaningful illustration.

HW: #5 Look around your house...what artifacts symbolize/ represent your family's culture/beliefs? Draw them to the best of your abilities. (SB)
