David arrived 10 minutes late due to work on a Field Day poster. He continued developing his graffiti piece, applying monochromatic blue tones to architectural lettering. I introduced a lighting demo, helping him determine light sources and how to apply shadowing. He responded by incorporating shadows effectively
Graffiti Project- Revising with Color Theory and Shape Language
Lesson Outline
David and I reviewed three final color variants of his current project. I demonstrated how converting the image to grayscale can clarify the effectiveness of highlights. We discussed color values—midtones, highlights, and shadows—and I introduced blending modes in Procreate to refine his color choices. David began experimenting with color, then transitioned to shape and proportion studies through a drawover exercise. He showed excellent understanding of layers and grouping. He continued applying these lessons during lunch, combining designs and implementing feedback.
We first completed a vocabulary exercise based on the final chapter of the novel. We discussed words unfamiliar to David such as "germane, irresolution, and covert." Next, we studied a passage from the text wherein Kino again studies ants. We discussed the ant metaphor which appeared earlier in the novel and the novel's illustration of man's insignificance. Last, we studied a second passage from the novel and explored how the promise of the pearl-the illusion-does not match the reality. David completed questions in writing on these two passages.
