-Motivation and Art Activity

• PowerPoint presentation of shapes and forms with sample drawings and                artworks 

• Differentiate different kind of shapes, geometric and organic

• Differentiate two kind of forms, geometric and organic

• Discuss and pinpoint the arrangement of visual variables and application for         the following:

    1. Position

    2. Sequence

    3. Hierarchy

    4. Size 

    5. Repetition

    6. Space

B. Development Activities (2 Activities for 20 minutes)

Activity 1 (5-10 minutes)
