This document outlines a lesson plan for a class on textures and shapes. The objectives are to develop representation, expression, and communication skills; explore design capabilities using visual and plastic design; and explore textures using different media and materials. Students will create a gallery of textures using various techniques like frottage, grattage, and printing. They will then use the created textures to develop a collage on the theme of landscapes. The lesson involves students working individually and in small groups to experiment with different materials like paint, pastels, and cardboards to create and analyze textures.

Objectives / Goals / Competences:
-Develop representation skills, expression and communication;
-Explore design capabilities within a visual and plastic design;

Procedure:
Students will handle different
materials and media in order to
create different textures. To this
purpose you may use various
procedures such as:
- grattage and frottage,
impression
- intensity, incision, texturing,
thickness, grading, minimum

- density, transparency, color,
tone, gradation;
Process
Tasks:
1st- Starting point
Introduction to the topic - textures
Brief explanation on what is a
texture, what types exist, and their
passage to the realm of artistic
languages through manipulation of
different materials and media.
2nd- Exploration / creating textures
- Through the manipulation of
different materials and supports
students should explore and create
different textures through processes
used by artists such as frottage,
grattage, dripping, printing * among
others.
- The result will result in the creation
of a rich gallery of very different
results, suggestive and visually
attractive.
3rd - Development of a collage with
textures created
-From the textures created in the
first part of the lesson, students
develop a collage, whose theme is
Types of interaction:
Organization of students into
small working groups (6 students);
Individual work
Explanation of the various
processes by the teacher
Students analyse of the
results.
Individual work

3. the landscape.
Resources / Materials
Supports and materials:
Acrylic paints, watercolours, salt, bleach, colour pencil, oil pastel on
cardboard and different kinds of roles;
Scissors, x-act, glue

Assessment
Analysis of the final result: exhibition of the works.
*The grattage is a technique that derives directly from frottage. It is
obtained by applying, on a support of layers of a material opaque pictorial,
for example, gouache, wax, oil pastel, which scraping with a spatula or
row markers according to the expressions and intended effects.
In frottage the artist uses a pencil or other drawing tool and makes a
"friction" over a textured surface. The design can be left as is or can be
used as a basis for improvement.
In printing ink is transmitted from one form to a support.
