During our lesson we want the students to observe objects in different ways and transform them into drawings. In this transforming process a lot of things are happening. They receive sensual stimulus in the brain, which are converted into some kind of an output. Therefore, drawing is also always a form of translation of what we see, hear and feel. To enhance this sensual experience, we selected objects that are especially appealing when it comes to shapes, surfaces and material (styrofoam, technical tools, organic shapes etc.).
We start our lesson with three smaller exercises in which the students should explore their senses through observation and drawing. In the second half of the double lesson they will take their time to develop and create something out of their previous observations into an association.
With our exercises, we want to improve the students ability to observe with their senses, in order to realize, that an objects has more characteristics then they would think.

Aim for our lesson
Artistical Expression:
Find new ways for perceiving an object. The lesson is about observation and they learn to think in different perspectives and with different senses. Every picture we create is a translation of sensual stimulations. And this process contains interpretation and deciding on how you bring them onto material.
Methods, Techniques, Strategies:
Develop a sensitivity for shapes, materials and surfaces. Paint with Gouache. Learn about the science of colors, especially Complementary Color Combinations. Recognizing shadows and lights in a object and transforming them into colors.
Analytical Reflexion,
Awareness, that everything we create after an image or an object is always a translation and interpretation of itself
