Students will be able to demonstrate observational drawing skills through the creation of several quick sketches of still life objects using contour lines. 
​Drawing from life
Do Now:  Get out sketchbooks, select an object from the table by the door.
Today we will be learning how to simplify objects first and then go in with more detail. The first half of class will just be drawing with contour lines and the second half we will be drawing more realistically and making objects look 3D. 
If you were to close your eyes and picture in your mind the room that you're in at the moment, how accurate would you be? (Go on, try it!)
How many objects did you forget?
How many did you remember, but were unable to picture clearly?
Did you remember how the room was lit?
Specific colors?
The spacing between objects?
Especially if this is a room that you frequently occupy, this can be an eye-opening exercise, bringing awareness to how little we actually "see" when we look around.
