| THEME | THE SHAPE OF THINGS |
| BACKGROUND | |
| INSTRUCTIONS | |
| Week 1 (25 JULY) | Shapes |
| Purpose | To enable students to recognize common geomentric shapes in different contexts. |
| INSTRUCTION | Draw 7 basic geometric shapes in your book |
| The circle, triangle, square, cylinder, oval, rectangle and octagonal | |
| Cut out pictures of objects found in the magazine that match these shapes | |
| eg: pizza for circle. | |
| Paste the pictures in next to each of the corresponding geometric shapes. | |
| Week 2 &3 (1 - 8 AUGUST) | Shape drawing |
| Purpose | To help students use common shapes to construct complex objects. |
| INSTRUCTION | The fascilitator will provide an example (photograph, drawing or model) of a complex object |
| (eg: train, cathedral, grandfather clock) | |
| The fascilitator will point out individual geometric shapes that make up the details of the object. | |
| (eg: circles for wheels, windows, rectangles for bricks etc) | |
| This example will then be rendered as a line drawing, using only basic shapes. | |
| The student will then choose their own example containing a variety of basic shapes | |
| A line drawing composed entirely of geometric figures should be done. | |
| Week 4 &5(15 -22 AUGUST) | Substitutional Imagery - Collage |
| Purpose | An opportunity for students to practice identifying and selecting basic shapes |
| in print media, and reassemble them into a collage rendering. | |
| INSTRUCTION | Using their previous Shape Drawings as a guide, students should cut out pictures |
| from magazines, catalogs etc and , substituting for the original geomentric shapes, | |
| paste these together into an approximation of their original subjects. | |
| (Many of these cutout pieces will not be exactly the right size or configuration to fit | |
| the subject - this does not matter. | |
| The goal here is to reinforce the process of shape recognition and to make | |
| students aware that the real world does not always fit the artis's vision | |
