Introduction
In this Lesson students ages 8 to 10 will collaboratively focus on exploring non-objective mark making techniques using varying hardnesses of graphite and erasers on a 10’ x 4’ roll of white paper.
We will then listen to 5 different instrumental songs, drawing to the music, rendering our interpretation of its sounds and rhythms through line. We will intentionally use all of the sides of our drawing and erasing tools.
