Art teacher here.
Ever heard of a "knowledge bomb"? Well it's 1942 and you're London.
I’ll divide this into 2 sections, first will be about the lessons, second will be about kids in general.
>2 hours is a long time for kids that age (4th and 5th graders) so divide up your time into 2 50 min or 3 35 min sections in which you teach like 1 concept.
>Materials: Pencil, charcoal, CHALK PASTEL (kids love it and it’s super easy to render with), maybe ballpoint pen.
>Start incredibly basic and push for quality, I have 6th graders who can’t even draw anything close to a decent circle!
>DEMONSTRATIONS are the best fucking thing ever. They get kids excited to do literally anything, and the kids will pick things up from it that you wouldn’t even have thought to teach since you’ve internalized your process. Go slow, narrating everything. You will be a wizard to them, teaching magic art tricks.
>No offense intended, but their work will often suck more than you can even imagine. Don’t be afraid to break things down if the kids seem overwhelmed.
>Using value to create the illusion of 3-D form will be something they’ve literally never done before unless they have a total baller of a teacher.
>They will be able to kind of do a 1 point perspective drawing, like a road going off into the distance if you really map it out, but don’t expect anything more than that. Cubes in 1 or 2 pt perspective are hard even for 7th and 8th graders.
