• Teach the basic principles of one-point and two-point perspective.
• Demonstrate how to draw simple objects (e.g. boxes, cylinders) using perspective.
• Students will practice drawing simple objects using perspective.
Week 3: Introduction to Still Life Objective: Students will understand the basics of still life drawing and how to accurately represent objects in a composition.
• Discuss the concept of still life and provide examples of still life art pieces.
• Teach the principles of proportion, shading, and composition.

• Encourage students to use the principles of colour theory, perspective, still life, and sculpture in their final project.
• Provide feedback and support as needed.

Wellbeing (SHANARRI)
Using the GIRFEC principles, the approach to considering children’s wellbeing should be rights-based, strengths-based, holistic and adaptable enough to take account of stage of development and the complexity of each child or young person’s individual life circumstances.
Practitioners and organisations should consider each of the eight wellbeing indicators (SHANARRI) in collaboration, with children, young people and their family.
Safe – growing up in an environment where a child or young person feels secure, nurtured, listened to and enabled to develop to their full potential. This includes freedom from abuse or neglect.
Healthy – having the highest attainable standards of physical and mental health, access to suitable healthcare, and support in learning to make healthy and safe choices.
Achieving – being supported and guided in learning and in the development of skills, confidence and self-esteem, at home, in school and in the community.
Nurtured – growing, developing and being cared for in an environment which provides the physical and emotional security, compassion and warmth necessary for healthy growth and to develop resilience and a positive identity.
Active – having opportunities to take part in activities such as play, recreation and sport, which contribute to healthy growth and development, at home, in school and in the community.
Respected – being involved in and having their voices heard in decisions that affect their life, with support where appropriate.
Responsible – having opportunities and encouragement to play active and responsible roles at home, in school and in the community, and where necessary, having appropriate guidance and supervision.
Included – having help to overcome inequalities and being accepted as part of their family, school and community.
