1) The document provides objectives and materials for a figure drawing project where students will use gesture drawing to capture a pose, create a proportional figure, incorporate gesture lines to show mass, develop a thoughtful composition, and place the figure in an environment. 2) Students will be evaluated on a 20 point scale across 5 criteria: accurately capturing the pose's motion, demonstrating body shapes and proportions, using overlapping lines to show mass, incorporating compositional guidelines, and completing the figure within an environment. 3) The project uses gesture drawing to create an 18x24 drawing of a posed figure placed within an environment, to be evaluated based on accurately capturing the pose, proportions, use of line to show mass, compositional elements

DP 1 & 3 Period:
Unit 5 – Gesture into Developed Drawing
Lesson: Figure in an Environment
Project Objectives: Create a 18x24 drawing with the
following:
• Use gesture drawing to capture the pose of your
model
• Create a proportional figure using gesture
drawing
• Use the gesture lines to create a sense of mass in
the figure
• Create a well thought-out composition
• Complete the drawing by incorporating the figure
into an environment
Project Materials: 12x18 manilla or white drawing paper; black ballpoint pen; watercolor (optional)

Student Teacher
1. Did you create a full figure capturing the motion of the pose?
2. Did you demonstrate an understanding of the main shapes of the body
while maintaining a sense of proportion?
3. Did you create a sense of value by overlapping gestures lines to create a
sense of mass?
4. Did you create a composition using compositional plane lines?
5. Did you create a complete gesture drawing in an environment?
