Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Introduce the lesson objectives and explain the importance of observational drawing. Show examples of different drawing styles and techniques.
2	Still Life Setup	5 mins	Organize students around a still life setup. Discuss the elements to observe (light, shape, proportion). Encourage students to choose their perspective.
3	Sketching Techniques	10 mins	Teach basic sketching techniques: blocking in shapes, adding details, and shading. Demonstrate these methods on a sample drawing.
4	Independent Practice	10 mins	Students begin their drawings from the still life arrangement. Walk around to provide individual support and feedback as they work.
5	Conclusion & Cleanup	5 mins	Allow students to finish up and clean their work area. Discuss what they learned from the exercise and share key takeaways.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during the independent practice phase.
• Collect the completed drawings for feedback and grading with a rubric focused on technique, creativity, and effort.

Homework

• Students will complete an additional drawing at home using the techniques learned in class. They are to submit their drawing digitally or in the following class without presenting it in front of the class.

Additional Notes

• Encourage students to explore their personal styles while reinforcing the learned techniques.
• Remind students to be respectful of their peers' workspaces during the critique process.
