In this 4th-grade art lesson, students will explore the concepts of line types and layering techniques to create depth in their drawings. The lesson begins with a discussion on depth and how various lines can convey texture, followed by a demonstration showcasing different line types and layering in a drawing. Students then engage in guided practice by collaboratively drawing a layered landscape, applying the techniques discussed. Afterward, they will independently create their own artwork using their understanding of lines and layering to depict a chosen theme. The lesson concludes with a gallery walk, allowing students to share their work and reflect on the techniques used. Assessment will focus on students’ application of line and layering techniques in their artwork, and extensions may include artist statements and further exploration of color blending.
