Painting and Drawing Observational drawing

Painting and Drawing Observational drawing


Are you more right-side or left-side of the brain?
(this theory has been disproven, has more to do with brain networks, but for fun we will try it)
  1. Warm Up: Picasso line drawing
  2. Presentation on "Observation in Art" take notes
  3. Try contour line drawings
  4. Choose your animal photo from Morguefile.com
  5. Left brain/right brain games
  • Take the Color text (left brain/right brain)
  • Left-brain/Right-brain quiz
  • Are you left-brained or right-brained?
6. Practice finding shapes in an animal
7. Practice drawing your animal
8. Create a value scale
9. Draw your animal. Start by lightly drawing shapes. Use all of the values. Cover your paper with detail.
