Extended Linear Line Drawing

Submitted by: Nicole Brisco, Pleasant Grove High School, Texarkana, Texas
UNIT: Observational Drawing - Perspective - Charcoal
Grade Level: High School

 

Objective:

Students will create two extended linear line drawings. Students should focus on perspective and depth in their compositions. Each student will be expected to complete one drawing in charcoal and one in paint.

You should begin by finding an interesting and complex area in the classroom or around the school. Walls with bricks, wiring, or patterns make a good choice. Sink areas also provide a "complex" area to draw. Draped fabric provides interesting line patterns. Build a foundation for your drawing with straight lines that build a framework for your final piece. The final work should allow the lines to breathe. Both works must incorporate the lines. If you choose to complete a third drawing, the lines are optional.
