Lesson [Year] Plan #2: Value Lesson Plano Let students use chalk freely (draw lines or fill the space withchalk). Ask:February/March2009‣ If you smudge the line, what happens?‣ What would you do, if you want to change something?‣ Can you express lightness or darkness with chalk? How?o Give students worksheet#1 that guides the creation of five-steps invalue with chalks.3. Give them worksheet#2 which has outlined shapes without color.o The teacher might set up a very simple still life with the sameobjects. Teachers can spotlight the objects so students can see thelights and darks as they draw, filling in the outline.4. Ask students which parts will be dark or light.5. Each student will finish the drawing begun in the outline by addingvalues using chalks.Evaluation: Students should be able to define value. Also, they should be ableto express value with chalk. They should be asked to answer the followingquestions about their drawings:1. Why do you make parts darker/lighter than others?2. What is the difference when you add value to a shape?Lesson Plans Page 23-26
