Description

Drawing Dürer Drapery

Teaching students to draw drapery is an excellent way to build their observational and shading skills — especially useful when developing portrait work. Inspired by Albrecht Dürer, a master of drawing fabric and form, this lesson helps students explore how light and shadow describe folds and texture. This lesson uses charcoal. It can be taught as a stand-alone drawing task or easily integrated into a portrait scheme of work.

This download includes:

  • A 20-slide PowerPoint (pictured above). This introduces students to Albrecht Dürer and guides them step-by-step to experiment with charcoal and then create a drapery drawing.
  • A Google Slides view-only link for quick, browser-based use (perfect for Chromebooks)
  • A two-page lesson plan with preparation, introduction, experimentation, development, plenary, extension task and subject-specific vocabulary.
  • Four images of beautifully draped fabric to draw. These are presented 2 on a page, in a 2-page document.
  • 2 Dürer fabric sketches on a 1-page PDF.

Materials required: Charcoal pencils, white tinted charcoal pencils and grey paper. The paper could be sugar, construction or Ingres paper.

Duration: 2 – 3 lessons. Or less if it can be finished for homework.

Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
