Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.1.1.LI.2 - Use the idea of concept sketches to create complex designs with graphite pencil and coloured pencil sketches in freehand drawing

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Combine at least three basic shapes to construct a complex form (e.g., a motorcycle, a traditional stool, or a mobile phone) in a freehand concept sketch.
Apply at least two rendering techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, or blending) to add depth and texture to a graphite pencil concept sketch.
Create a coloured pencil concept sketch of an everyday object, correctly using colour to indicate light, shadow, and material quality.
Explain, in their own words, the steps they followed from initial idea to finished concept sketch, using correct technical vocabulary.
Present a pictorial report of their design process showing at least three stages: initial idea, development, and final rendered sketch.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Collaborative Learning: Learners in groups brainstorm to select the type of basic shapes, rendering techniques and complex forms they want to create and the relevant tools and materials they will be using. Project-based Learning: Guide learners in groups/individuals to create complex designs with basic shapes and rendering techniques using graphite pencil and coloured pencil sketches in freehand drawing. Project-based Learning: Let learners generate manual/digital pictorial reports individually on how they created the complex designs with basic shapes and rendering techniques using graphite pencil and coloured pencil sketches in freehand drawing.
