Ruler and eraser
General lesson structure:

NOTES
*These lessons are designed using basic skills already learned by students; to measure and to draw
straight lines using a ruler. Elements of self-expression are based on familiarity and habit and will
come gradually - particularly when the student grows comfortable with the lesson structure. Such
self-expression is first emphasised in the homestudy area.
*The second part of the lessons will deal with the freehand elements of drawing but it has been my
experience that these freehand lessons come easier with confidence, enthusiasm, discipline and a
general understanding of the principles of perspective and the drawing of regular solids. For those
who think good drawing has nothing to do with the understanding of basic structure need not read
much further. Be warned that it is my way to teach that basic structure first.
*If the lessons are conducted as I have designed them the teacher will find most children will tend
to neglect more formal homework and concentrate on expressing themselves by completing their
drawings in their own time. I have taught these lessons to all ages including disturbed children,
intelligent young adults, three different cultures, and to individuals completely disinterested in
education generally. The end results were universal, the students became more perceptive and
desired a career change. Be prepared to be besieged by parents at parent teacher nights.
The Classroom teacher
needs a good clean chalkboard, white chalk and a long straight edge
(a board tee square for the less adept). The home educator needs the same equipment as the
student.

ALL LESSONS - THE PREAMBLE
Lesson preamble
- Pencil control for the start of all lessons
Aim:
To teach the importance of eye to hand coordination, pencil control.
Materials:
the sketch pad,
the HB pencil,
ruler.
PENCIL CONTROL
A) The pupil will be asked to rule a light horizontal line 1cm or 1/2 inch from the top of the page.
The word
lightly
must be stressed and the student's task will be to draw the line so it is visible at
half a meter but
invisible at a meter
.
B) Have the student hold these up and the teacher will discover that only one or two students will
be able to achieve this result. Praise those two and demonstrate to the whole class the correct
method of holding a pencil for a long light line is to drag the pencil across the page lightly holding it
between thumb and index finger. The trick is to move your
ARM
and shoulder and not your fingers!
C) Have the class draw a light line across the bottom of the page using this technique and get their
next-door neighbour to check it for visibility at a yard.
D) If this proves satisfactory have the student complete the verticals two verticles in the same
manner.
E) Hold these up for inspection and then ask the students to firm in the margin with their pencil
leaving the corners so they can discern the difference between their light and heavy lines.
F) Lightly construct a little box 2cmx6cm (1" x2") in the bottom right hand corner for a title, then
firm it in as shown below.
 preamble
This exercise is to be done at the beginning of every drawing class for every page as it
slots the students mind into line control (allow 5 min. maximum).
