FIGURE DRAWING

Not every teacher’s classroom is set up to deal with Figure Drawing, and this Teacher’s Guide will provide a knowledgeable framework to assist you in getting the best out of your learners while teaching a complex subject.

The logical steps towards understanding and completing a Figure Drawing can be found in this Workpack. All the information and resources that you will need to teach and complete this Figure Drawing project is provided using easy-to-understand instructions and guidelines. Using a photographic reference image, the learner is introduced to the technique of the grid-drawing method for completing two projects: a full figure, continuous-tone pencil rendering and a portrait using coloured pencils in a tonal square.

The Teacher’s Guide offers advice and Figure Drawing instructions as well as photographic reference pictures, templates and grids. There are also completed examples to show the learners.

A task checklist is included for those learners who keep asking “What’s next?” as well as a ready-made rubric for allocating marks.

This worksheet is also great for substitution teachers or as filler for quiet moments.
