Lesson Title: Geometric Shape Shading

Lesson Description: 

    As an intermediary lesson to value study, students will shade simple geometric shapes in value.  Each objects will have a single fixated light source and students should show value ranging from light to dark.  Following are four shapes students would work on.

• Cube
• Cylinder
• Cone
• Sphere (optional)

 

Student Objectives:

Main Objective:

The students will shade four geometric shade with graphite pencil.

Subsidiary Objective:

The students will locate the light-source

The students will identify the location of the highlight, mid-tone, and Shade.

The students will lay down multiple layers of graphite to get darker value.

The students will use the appropriate pencils (6H ~ 6B) per each value.

 

Lesson Procedure: 

1. Introduction
   As a practice, students will shade simple geometric shapes in value to get the sense of 3 dimensional form.  During the introduction, teacher sample will be provided along with key visual terms. (Highlight, Mid-tone, Shade, Shadow, etc)
2. Teacher Demo
   Using the overhead projector, teacher will explain the work procedure.
   1. Draw the outline of the shapes
   2. Identify the location of the highlight / mid-tone / shade / shadow
   3. Shade from dark to light.
3. Production
   Students will complete their geometric shape drawing by following the procedure above.
