UNIT 1 Objective To draw a boy using an outline as a guide Graphite pencil Colouring pencils Rubber Educational suggestions 1 Drawing people Draw å bo. Students look at the boy. Point out the proportions of his body: Point to the boy s head. Is it bigger than his hands? Is it smaller than his body? Before they begin drawing, demonstrate how to sketch the outline of the boy: First draw the outline of the boy with light pencil strokes. Start with the body. Then, sketch the head and limbs. Draw the parts of the face last. The students listen to track 1.1 and answer the questions. At the end of every lesson, play the Clean up song, track 0.2. See Teacher s Book, p. 8 for the lyrics. Anticipating difficulties Students may have problems placing the facial features and body parts correctly and in proportion. Track 1.1: Drawing people Listen and say the colours. What colour is his hat? What colour are his trousers? What colour is his hair? Draw a boy. Track 0.2: Clean up song Resources in the i book ART MASTERPIECES The students will examine Boys with mastiffs by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828). This Spanish painter is famous for his portraits of the Spanish royal family, as well as for his engravings and tapestry cartoons. Boy with mastiffs was part of a series of tapestry cartoons for the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Barbara in 1786. A tapestry cartoon is painted the same size as the final tapestry and shows how it will look when it is finished. Tapestry makers mix threads of different colours to recreate the colours in the cartoon. Colour the boy from the Goya painting. ART seven 7 Unit 1 LEARNING TO LEARN Students should make an effort to keep their work clean and tidy. Comparing body positions Students compare the body positions of characters in a painting. 16

The city mouse lives in a big, noisy city. The country mouse lives in a small, quiet village. They love their homes! Drawing the music The country mouse and the city mouse Track 1.4 The students listen to a series of sounds which represent either the noisy city or the quiet countryside. The students say which mouse hears each sound: Who can hear this sound, the city mouse or the country mouse? Then ask: Are you a country mouse or a city mouse? Draw your favourite mouse. Draw the things he / she can hear and see. Afterwards, students share their pictures with the class. A: I m a city mouse. I like the city. B: I m a country mouse. I like the country. The sounds are: waterfall; fish jumping in the river; birds singing; a woodpecker; leaves moving in the wind; traffic sounds; a police siren; a pneumatic drill; a mobile phone; a dog barking; beeb, beep of a traffic light when green; all the city sounds together. 18
