Artists do not draw what they know — they draw what they see. A one-hour Year 4 art and design lesson on observational drawing, ages 8 to 9. The lesson covers: looking properly — slowing down and really observing; types of line, from light and heavy to curved and broken; finding shapes, big shapes first and details last; light and shade, using tone to make drawings look solid; and an observational study of a real object. Ready-to-teach PowerPoint, no prep.
