Relation of Forms · SHS1 Art And Design Foundation

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.3.3.LI.1 - Exhibit/display drawings and designs that relate basic contours and forms in the environment using conventional and non-conventional materials.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and name basic contours (outlines) and forms (geometric and organic) found in objects within their immediate environment.
Distinguish between conventional drawing media (pencil, charcoal, pen, crayon) and non-conventional media (string, sand, fabric scraps, leaves, wire, recycled paper) with practical examples.
Produce a minimum of two contour drawings of environmental objects using both a conventional medium (e.g., pencil or charcoal) and a non-conventional medium (e.g., string or wire).
Combine related basic forms to design a simple composition of objects from the environment, using either dry or wet media.
Present and justify their finished drawing/design to peers, explaining media choices and how contours and forms relate in their composition.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Experiential Learning/ Self-directed Learning: In groups, analyse selected objects in the environment to identify and record their basic forms using contour drawings.
Experiential Learning/ Explorative Learning: In small groups, generate a chart to distinguish between conventional and non-conventional media and techniques for creative expression through drawing.
Project-Based Learning/Collaborative learning: In small groups/working individually, use conventional and non-conventional materials as well as modern and industrial approaches to create compositions of objects in the environment using modern and digital media.
