This
class was part of an observation/ team teaching experience. The class started
with an introduction to the class that I will be teaching. In this class the learning
outcome that was addressed was Drawing
1.4, demonstrate how they use drawing
to observe, record and analyse the human figure and the world around them. The
class was continuing from the last class with Blind Contour drawing. The
students were told for this exercise they must remember three things, not to
look at the page, to keep the pencil/pen on the page and that this exercise is
to work on hand to eye co-ordination. The objective of this exercise is to
practice the element of line, the shape and the line of the object.
The
class then continued onto Continuous line drawing. The co-operating teacher
then showed the students a video of an artist completing a continuous line
drawing (around seven minutes). After the video was watched, the students
proceeded to do Continuous line drawing themselves. The students were told,
that they could look at the page, the drawing implement could not leave the
page. Again this exercise works on the hand to eye co-ordination of the
student. Some students found difficulty understanding that looking at the paper
during the blind drawing was part of the exercise. This group has some strong
students however others may experience difficulties. However they engaged with
the task set to them and responded well. Overall it was a great first look
teaching. There was a clear objective, the students were aware of why they were
doing the blind drawing and the continuous line drawing exercises. When
questioned what benefits came from these exercises they were left to answer
them themselves. It was engaged learning and the students were not just being
told what to do.
