Lesson Three – Sketching Proportion
This art and design teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise drawing faces using the correct proportions for each of the different features such as the eyes, nose and mouth.
The class can identify and explain how to use a template shape to make sure that any part of the face has the correct proportions and how to use weighted lines and textures to create a realistic shape.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to practise drawing faces using the correct proportions for each of the different features such as the eyes, nose and mouth
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe techniques used by an artist when sketching the human body, a shared reading text to present instructions about how to draw a face using the correct proportions and a template to use when sketching the features on a human face.
The interactive presentation gets the children to identity and describe how an artist has used proportion when sketching and painting the human body.
This lesson is part of a art and design scheme of work to get the children to develop sketching skills and techniques when drawing parts of the human body by investigating drawings and paintings produced by Leonardo da Vinci. There are teaching activities for shared learning, activity worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
