Procedure:
Day One
Bell Ringer: The students will write in their sketchbook a description of  using three of the elements of art.

Step one: In small groups at the tables, the students will compare Vincent van Gogh’s Self Portrait in Front of Easel and Red Grooms On the Aegean. The students will write on these questions:
What is the primary focus in the paintings?
What types of colors are in the paintings?
What is in the background? Can you infer a lot of information about the through the background?
There will be a class discussion of the works.

Step Two
The students will explain the procedure for doing a grid drawing. The students will discuss Chuck Close’s Self Portrait.
The teacher will photograph the students (head images) for the drawing.

Day Two
Bell Ringer
The students will write how three elements are applied in the van Gogh Still Life in Front of Easel in their sketchbooks.

Step One
The students will grid their self portrait photograph (4” x 6”) into one inch squares. The students will grid 1/2 of the 12” x 18” white paper with two inch squares (horizontal orientation).  This will be done with a 2H pencil (easier to erase). The students will start transferring the information from the grid to the white paper.

Day Three
Bell Ringer
The students will write in their sketchbook how three elements are applied in Grooms’ On the Aegean.

Step Two
The students will continue to work on the grid.

Day Four
Bell Ringer
The students will do a Venn Diagram between Red Grooms On the Aegean and Red Grooms’ Ruckus Manhattan.

Step One
The students will refer to the photograph of their room. They may apply the image however they want to set a place in their drawing. This maybe done behind the portrait along with the empty side of the drawing.

Day Five
Bell Ringer
The students will explain what negative space is in their sketchbook.

Step One
The students will start adding color with watercolors to their drawings.
When they are finished they will place the drawings in the drying rack.

Day Six
Class Critique
1st The students will place a folded piece of paper by their work. The students will go to one and write notes to the individuals on the works. They will describe through the elements of the works.
2nd The students will go to another table and write intepretations of what they see in the works. This will be written below the description.
3rd The students will go a third table to write their judgement of the works (below the description and interpretation).

There will be a class discussion when the students return to their works.
