This book explores visual art drawing techniques with over 20 lessons. Students learn about and use various drawing techniques. The lessons are grouped into five areas of drawing; sketching, shading, rendering, perspective and figures. Several of these lessons are in the Drawing Area of "Visual Art for the Secondary Grades," but are expanded and are important to learning to draw. Art history is integrated with art creation. Each area includes overviews, objectives, lesson procedures, suggested supplies needed, media used, artist information, definitions of terms used, handouts needed and grading rubrics. California visual art standards are addressed and are listed in the appendix of the book. Supplemental color materials are available at www.svisualart.com for online viewing or free download, completing all that is needed to teach the lessons.
