Time- Lessons are separated into approx. 40 min segments. Homestudy - 10 to 20 minutes per lesson -set work proposals suggested at end of each lesson. Materials:
30x45cms or 12"x18" standard cartridge paper (thick, white, plain) sketchpad. 2H, HB and 4B pencils Ruler and eraser

General lesson structure: 5-10 min. revision and homework assessment. 5 min. new page, draw margin and add title (bottom rh corner). 20 min. demo and child practical drawing. 5min. summary and suggested homework.NOTES
*These lessons are designed using basic skills already learned by students; to measure and to draw straight lines using a ruler. Elements of self-expression are based on familiarity and habit and will come gradually - particularly when the student grows comfortable with the lesson structure. Such self-expression is first emphasised in the homestudy area. *The second part of the lessons willdeal with the freehand elements of drawing but it has been my experience that these freehand lessons come easier with confidence, enthusiasm, discipline and a general understanding of the principles of perspective and the drawing of regular solids. For those who think good drawing has nothing to do with the understanding of basic structure need not read much further. Be warned that it is my way toteach that basic structure first. *If the lessons are conducted as I have designed them the teacher will find most children will tend to neglect more formal homework and concentrate on expressing themselves by completing their drawings in their own time. I have taught these lessons to all ages including disturbed children, intelligent young adults, three different cultures, and to individualscompletely disinterested in education generally. The end results were universal, the students became more perceptive and desired a career change. Be prepared to be besieged by parents at parent teacher nights.

The Classroom teacher needs a good clean chalkboard, white chalk and a long straight edge (a board tee square for the less adept). The home educator needs the same equipment as the student.http://www.geocities.com/~jlhagan/K9-14/intro2.htm (1 von 2) [08.12.2002 12:36:53]
