During this unit, presented by Ms. Manandhar (student teacher) students will explore themes of spontaneity, serendipity and play through art while also improving the drawing skills introduced through "Drawing Bootcamp." Activities with media that are less controlled will lead to more controlled and directed work. Found and accidental shapes, patterns and textures will be elaborated into recognizable forms by applying specific concepts such as using contour line and line quality to enhance the illusion of form. New rendering skills will be introduced as well.
By the end of the unit, students will have:
