Lesson No.1 : Kinds of Lines and their Characteristics
Code A3PR-If : Create a geometric design by contrasting
two kind of lines in terms of types or sizes
THINK ABOUT THIS
A line is formed when two points are connected. There are
two kinds of lines – the straight lines and the curve lines. Curve lines
are wavy and spiral. A line can be thick, thin, wide, or narrow.
Types of straight lines are horizontal lines, vertical lines, diagonal
lines, and broken lines.
Geometric designs are designs based on lines or simple
shapes such as rectangles, triangles, and circles.

Lesson No. 2 : People of Different Sizes
Code A3EL-Ia : Distinguishes the size of persons in the
drawing, by their distance from the
viewer
THINK ABOUT THIS
In a drawing, the sizes of objects may differ. Objects look
smaller when they are far from the viewer, and larger
when they are near.
FRAME YOUR THOUGHTS
In a drawing, objects that are near to the viewer are drawn
bigger while objects are far from the viewer are drawn smaller.

that shows distance.... children near the viewer, at the
middle and far from the viewer ( the sizes vary based
on their placement )

the smaller the object, the nearer the distance from the
viewer the bigger the object. This is called Illusion of Space.
L2-2

The use of illusion of space is a technique or process

Lesson 4 : Visual Texture
Code A3PL-Ic : Appreciates that artists create visual
textures by using lines, dots, and colors
THINK ABOUT THIS
Still life drawing is one of the processes in showing one’s
creativity. We can use cross hatch lines and pointillism to produce
visual textures. Cross hatch lines are marks of two or more sets of
intersecting parallel lines while pointillism is a technique done by
applying small dots to a surface to form a picture.
Our eyes can only determine visual textures; they cannot be
touched or felt. We distinguish the texture of the object in a
picture by looking at it.
BE CREATIVE
Still Life Drawing with Cross Hatch Lines and Dots
1. Prepare the drawing materials.
L4-1

2. Arrange the objects to be drawn (ex. different kinds
of
fruits , bottles, etc.) in a pleasing arrangement to be
used as model.
3. Draw the arranged objects with the use of pencil.
4. Choose cross hatching or pointillism(using of dots) to
show the texture of the
objects. Use only one technique.
5. Seek the help of the teacher if needed.
6. Write a title for your finished artwork and display it on
the board.

Lesson 5 : LANDSCAPE DRAWING
Code A3PL – ld : Tells that in a landscape, the nearest
object
drawn is the foreground; the objects
behind the foreground are the middle
ground, while the farthest objects are
the background.
THINK ABOUT THIS
An artist makes objects appear bigger and smaller in his/her
drawing depending on their placement or position in the
foreground, middle ground, and background.
Objects in the foreground are usually big because they
appear to be in the front and nearest to the viewer while objects
in the backgrounds appear smaller for they are far from the
viewer. Objects in the middle ground are found between the
background and foreground.

Lesson No. 6 : Textures and Shapes
Code A3PR-lg : Sketches on-the-spot outside or near the
school to draw a plant, flowers or a tree
showing the different textures and shape of
each part, using only a pencil, black crayon,
ballpen.
THINK ABOUT THIS
Sketching is a fast way to record observations of what you
see. These lines and forms are often simple but beautiful. On the
other hand, drawing is usually considered more of a finished piece
than a sketch. This generally means that a drawing will contain
more visual details than a sketch. Drawings are complete
statements of a scene or subject compared to sketches.

Sketching of a Plant, Flower, or a Tree
