3 - Bringing Your Drawings to Life with Color
Objectives
Students will
- Analyze the different techniques for rendered presentation drawings. (Analysis)
- Observe the different effects pencils, ink, colored pencils, and art markers have on presentation drawings. (Analysis)
- Select a combination of color techniques for use on their final design plans. (Evaluation)
- Create final plans in color. (Synthesis)
- Discuss the effects that earth tones cause on presentation drawings. (Evaluation)
Materials
- Plot drawings
- Colored pencils
- Art markers
- Ink pens
- Pencils
Vocabulary
Earth tones
Rendering
Teacher Preparation
- Review different colored plot plans and see what colors were used (mostly earth tones) and look at different shading techniques.
- Collect examples of renderings to share with students.
Procedure
- Define and give examples
of these vocabulary terms to students:
- Earth tones: Colors selected to approximate their natural counterpart's coloring.
- Rendering: An accurate, detailed drawing of a building or landscape, completed in color, generally used for presentation to a client.
- Discuss the concept of rendering with students.
- Discuss the different techniques of rendering presentation drawings and what effects each create (pencil, water color, ink, tempera, colored pencil, architectural art markers, and air brush renderings).
- Discuss the appropriate use of color in renderings. Earth tones are appropriate color choices for renderings.
- Encourage students to experiment with different methods on a test plan using colored pencils, ink, pencils, art markers, and combination of techniques.
- Have students work with value and shading in order to increase the realism of their presentation
- Ask students to create a final rendered plot drawing of the courtyard.
- Assess student work
(see Assessment Rubric).
