BP8_RILS_Final Project

Relevant and Innovative Learning Scenario

Brief Overview: In this project students will draw the human head as a pre-assessment in Sketchfu. They will then receive instruction on how to correctly draw the human head and then create a new drawing in sketchfu based off of those instructions that will serve as their post-assessment. Students will then self-critique and provide feedback.

Target Audience: High School Beginning level art students.

Materials: Computer access for SketchFU. (www.sketchfu.com)
Handout on How to draw the Human Face
Rubric and Self-Evaluation Rubric

Objectives: The Learner will be able to:
• Apply the creative process in the arts.
• Demonstrate connections between the arts and other disciplines: Math – Proportions. Biology – Anatomy. Technology – Sketchfu.
• Evaluate their process and end product.
• Compare and Discuss pre-assessment drawing and post-assessment drawing.

Procedure: * The Students will go to sketchfu.com and create an account.
• They will draw the human head.
• Students will then be given directions on how to correctly draw the human head using proportions.
• Student will create a second drawing practicing these directions.
• Students will then create a Thrid drawing using the correct proportions they just learned.
• Students will fill out a self-critique based off of the rubric.
• Students will present their before and after drawings by playing their recordings on sketchfu to the class as a group and they will critique each other using the Feldman Method of Criticism: Description, Analysis, Interpretation, Judgment.)

Web 2.0 tool: http://sketchfu.com/ Sketch Fu is a web 2.0 tools where you can draw and create artworks and share them!


3. Social Participation/Social Learning: The students will connect socially through SketchFU. They will create their pre-test and post-test assignment there and be able to view each other’s work and their step-by- step process.


4. Making Connections:
a) Students will make an attempt at a drawing and then they will learn the correct procedures for how to draw. After students will recreate their drawing with their new knowledge. They will have a before and after image to show that they made connections with the learning objectives.
b) Learning how to use web 2.0 tools and correct measurements/proportions in drawing is relevant to today’s art learner. They still need to learn elements and principles of design concepts, but need a more technological way to create.
c) They will be able to connect with their classmates drawings and with drawing from people all over the world because of SketchFU.

1. Create/Produce:
The learner will create a pre-assessment drawing,practice drawing and a post assessment drawing in SketchFU.
2. Assessment: The post-assessment drawing will be graded off a simple rubric:
3. Reflection: a. The students will fill out a self-evaluation rubric on how well they think they accomplished the objectives in their post-assessment drawing and what they thought about the process.
b. The last question of the self-evaluation rubric will help the instructor evaluate and improve upon the project.

  1. Looks great Cricket! I really had fun participating despite my fear of drawing. Sketchfu is a fun tool and something I will definitely use in the future. By the way, I really love the video. You did an awesome job with it. See you next month!

  2. Cricket, your whole project turned out so great. I loved getting to be one of your students. I feel like this is an awesome way to incoporate technology in the classroom in a way that is meaningful and genuine. I think that too often technology is used just for technology's sake; this is not one of those cases. I hope that your students really enjoy it as well.

  3. Wow! Well done. I had such fun doing my sketchfu. It took me a while to get the hang of it. I can see myself teaching art this year using sketchfu. Great Project.

  4. Cricket makes the serious art of drawing fun with Sketchfu. I loved the video which showed the steps of the drawings created for the RILS. There was no intimidation or superiority in the instruction, just interesting options that inspire while keeping things simple. I hope you will keep up the blog when school starts.

  5. Wow Cricket. I had not seen this program before but after reviewing your RILS and watching your videos, I cannot wait to play around with this thing. Although I am an English teacher, I love drawing and have since I was a child (I learned to draw with "Drawing Comics the Marvel Way"). I have tried many different vector graphic drawing programs without much success but this looks really cool. Thanks for sharing and exploring this program.
