Description
In my high school art drawing course I always include an introduction to charcoal. This lesson is perfect for students with a range of experience and is great for late middle school art or high school art classes.
I like to start with background information on the history of charcoal and its use in the art world before jumping into techniques. They then learn about reductive shading and additive shading techniques before watching a demo and practicing their skills in a sketchbook project. Next, they create a traditional still life study: a drawing of a drapery.
This assignment is the perfect introduction to the ability of charcoal. It's a successful art assignment, which means the majority of the students will walk away with a strong drawing. It helps build their art knowledge base as well as their confidence in their drawing ability before moving onto more personal and technical works of art.

➢A lesson plan (with a big idea, objectives, vocabulary, national middle and high school art standards, and step by step instructions on implementing the project)
➢PowerPoint, to introduce the assignment
