MEMORY DRAWING
This means drawing something you have seen before.
It could be on TV or a movie, but the best is when you have seen with your own NAKED eyes.
Exercise 1
Discuss and draw on the board what can be seen in a hospital.
Exercises 2
Draw what you can see at the market place.
IMAGINATIVE DRAWING

Colour
Colour is defined as hue. Hue is the colour you see when u look at an object. Colour is hue.
The Color Wheel
Size
Size refers to variations in the proportions of objects, lines or shapes.
No matter how good or bad a painting is, they still contain Elements of Design.
OUTLINE DRAWING
This is means drawing the shape of an object without drawing details.The outline of an object is also the shape of the object.
Example...
Cool Colours
Blue, green, purple and their combinations.

The handle of a brush is most often made from wood that's painted and/or varnished, but it can also be made from plastic or bamboo.
1. Bristles/hairs are in a brush. It is the part that you pick colours with to paint.
2. The ferrule is the part that holds the handle and hairs together, and in shape. It's usually made from metal, but not exclusively.
3. The toe of a brush is the very end of the bristles.
4. The heel is where the bristles go into the ferrule at the end of the handle.
5. The belly is, as the name would suggest, the fattest part of a brush. (It's most obvious on a round brush, rather than a flat one.) A substantial belly on a round watercolor brush enables you to pick up a large quantity of paint at a time.
2. Use a big brush to paint large areas.
3. Never pick colour from a poster colour container with your brush if you have already used it to pick colour.
4. Always wash your brush clean in your container of water before using it to pick another colour.
5. Mix your colours on your colour palette
This means drawing something you have seen before.
It could be on TV or a movie, but the best is when you have seen with your own NAKED eyes.
It is possible you know how a bicycle looks like. But you cannot draw Uncle Jeremiah’s bicycle very well from your memory because you have NOT SEEN MY BICYCLE BEFORE.
In order to draw very well from your memory, you need to be a GOOD OBSERVER. A good observer is someone who looks at things VERY CAREFULLY, and can tell the height, colour, shape, size and all characteristics of objects; or someone who can give a good description of where he/she has been before.

Pattern Making
We use Elements of Art
when making designs and patterns. In Primary 1 we learnt
that: Design: is when you make something in an artistic way and a pattern: is when you repeat a design several times. Now, in making Patterns, we also use elements of art. Even human beings were created using the Elements of Art. The elements of art are also called Elements of Design.
Elements of Design
Dot: ....
Line:
A line is created when you
place the tip of your writing tool (pencil, pen, marker, etc) at one point and
you move it to another point to make a mark.
- Vertical line
- Horizontal Line
- Curved Line
- Zigzag Line
- Diagonal Line
Shape
When you start drawing a
line and you join the two open ends, you form a shape. There are two types of shapes:
Regular Shapes
- Triangle
- Rectangle
- Oval
- Square
- Circle
Irregular Shape
Form
Form is a three-dimensional figure (sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.) as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat. Form is considered three-dimensional (3D) showing height, width and depth.

Space
Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. (There are two types of space: positive and negative space).
Texture
The texture is the quality of a surface. The surface could be either rough, smooth or any definition suitable.

- Primary Colours
- Secondary Colours
A color wheel shows how colors are related. On a color wheel, each secondary color is between the primary colors that are used to make it. Orange is between red and yellow because orange is made by mixing red with yellow. What goes between secondary colors and primary colors? Intermediate, or tertiary, colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color that is next to it.
Other Facts about Colour:
Complementary Colours | Analogous Colours | Neutral Colours | Cool Colours | Warm Colours

Value: Tints & Shades
The lightness or darkness of a color is called its value. You can find the values of a color by making its tints and shades.
Tints are light values that are made by mixing a color with white. For example, pink is a tint of red, and light blue is a tint of blue.
Shades are dark values that are made by mixing a color with black. Maroon is a shade of red, and navy is a shade of blue.

Main Topic:
PULLED STRING PATTERN
A pulled string pattern is
created when you dip a thread in a colour solution holding one end, pulling it
out and dropping the thread with colour in-between folded paper and pulling the
excess thread after pressing the back of the folded paper flat.
You can Make two colour, three
or more colour pulled string patterns on paper. All you have to do is to wait
for your work to dry during each level of operation.
CRAYON RESIST
The principle that wax resist
water. Crayon is made from wax and colour additives called pigment. so crayon
is made from wax and pigment. When you colour the surface of a sheet of paper
with thick layers of crayon, the crayon protects the surface of your paper from
getting wet with water.
You can create a colourful
design or pattern with thick layers of crayon on your paper and apply a
solution of poster colour on to your work, the crayon would resist the solution
of colour colouring your paper leaving a very beautiful artwork.
Make sure you decide on
what to do. Make sure your crayon strokes are also very thick and lastly make
sure your work is made up of bright colours like pink, yellow, orange, sea
blue, and others.
PATTERN MAKING -STENCIL
A stencil is a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, or metal, with letters or a design cut from it, used to produce the letters or design on an underlying surface by applying pigment through the cut-out holes in the material. The key advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused to repeatedly and rapidly produce the same letters or design.
You dab the pigment with a soft cotton fabric or foam to transfer the design.To dab means to tap gently. You pick colour mixed with water or the
required solvent in bowl with this soft fabric and you tap gently or dab on top
of your stencil which is placed on top of a surface in order to transfer this
shape of the stencil onto the surface.

OUTLINE DRAWING-DRAWING
Drawing means making marks on a surface to create an image or a shape. To draw you need to move the nib of your pencil from one point to another. There are types of drawings, below shows examples of few of them:

DESIGNS & PATTERNS
The use of lines, dots, shapes and colour.
To create patterns, texture and
designs on folded paper.
- You need an A4 size paper.
- The paper is first folded on the long side
- After which the paper is folded in a concertina.
The paper is then folded on the diagonal side.
- The paper is unwrapped and spread out to receive variety of patterns and designs made with crayons.
MONO PRINTING
A monoprint is a single print of an image from a plate. In
mono printing the images cannot be reproduced to make them look exactly as each
other, that is why it is called Mono, meaning single.
In mono printing, the artwork is done on a plate after which
a paper is placed on top and pressed weight enough to press to transfer the design onto the paper.

2. Secondary Colours
These are colours we get when we mix 2 primary colours. They are: Green, Orange and Purple.
*Red + Blue = Purple
*Red + Yellow =Orange
*Blue + Yellow =Green
