Students will learn to use different kinds of lines and in different ways to trick the viewer’s eye into seeing illusions of depth, form, depth, and shadows.

I have been an artist all my life and a teacher for over 16 years. Most of that time I have been teaching art in the public school system.

There is no required homework. This is a project that students can start in class and continue making if they choose.

Eraser
Black pen

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Students will be asked questions about kinds of lines being made to assess their understanding. After each technique, the teacher will ask students questions and ask to see their work to see if they are demonstrating an understanding. Students will be encouraged to ask questions.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
