Learning Objectives

Indicator: B7.2.1.1.1

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least five tools and five materials used for still-life drawing, shading, pattern making and modelling, stating their nature (hard, soft, wet, dry, flexible, etc.).
Describe the use of each identified tool and material in relation to a specific art activity (drawing, shading, pattern making or modelling).
Test and classify at least six tools, materials and techniques according to their nature and use, recording findings in a simple table.
Select appropriate tools, materials and techniques for a given art task and demonstrate safe handling, cleaning and storage of these items.
Record information about tools, materials and techniques from at least two different sources (e.g., realia, pictures, videos, or the teacher’s demonstration).

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. Identify, describe and record relevant tools, materials and techniques for still-life drawing and shading, pattern making and modelling from a variety of sources. Examples of tools: pencil, charcoal, crayon, cutting wire, knife, smooth stones, Examples of materials: paint, pastel, paper, tracing paper, clay, paper pulp, plasticine Examples of techniques: direct observation, freehand and outline drawing, hatching, cross-hatching Examples of sources from videos/illustrations/pictures/realia,
2. Test and classify tools, materials and techniques for still-life drawing and shading, pattern making and modelling according to their nature and use.
3. Create patterns and moulds with selected elements of design for still-life drawing, pattern making and modelling. Examples of element of design: line, colour, form, value, dots, space, shape and texture,
4. Select the most appropriate tools, materials and techniques and apply them in a safe way, to create still-life drawings, patterns and models for appreciation. Examples of safe ways on how to handle tools, clean sharp tools, work with materials such as paints, ink to avoid accident.
5. Apply knowledge and skills in cleaning-up, maintaining and storing of tools, materials and equipment in a sustainable manner. Example: wash and clean brushes, pencils, etc., after use and apply oil on metallic tools to avoid rusting.
