Transcript Slide 1

Getting Started…
Brainstorm
In Sketchbooks or on ‘rough work’ paper:
Make a list or ‘doodles’ of things you like!
Think about how you could visually depict your
‘likes’ by simply using lines and shapes.
Favourites… hobbies, interests, sports, foods,
animals, places, things to do…
“ISH” and “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds are available on TUMBLEBOOKS

Stoddart, Colby
Planning my Art Portfolio…
 I can ‘draw’ a guideline with a pink eraser.
(to divide the page in half, horizontally)
 I can estimate and use the space well:
4 large rectangles in the top half,
4 large rectangles in the bottom half;
Space below each for “-ish” labels.
 I can draw rectangular shapes freehand,
without a ruler.
Drawings that Tell About You…
Pick some of your favourite ideas, and make an "ish"
drawing with lines and shapes in each of the rectangles
using a Sharpie.
Label your drawings.
Watercolour
Supplies…
-Watercolour set
-Watercolour paintbrush
-Water container
Using Watercolour
I can gather supplies and set up my work space.
I can add water to create a ‘watery’ paint medium.
I can control where the paint goes.
I can decide on a light source
and add shadows using watery grey.
