Step1

Look into eachother's eyes

You will start this assignment with looking at and drawing the eye of one of your classmates. You will make a detailed drawing of his/her eye.

 

While drawing remember the drawing rules:

A biological drawing is a good way to show how something looks. A biological drawing is NOT a fantasy drawing, but a detailed description of what you see.

Materials

  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Ruler
  • Pencil sharpener

Method

  • Make sure your pencil is sharpened
  • Before you start make sure you know what you are going to draw. For instance just draw the eye, the eyebrow, the eyelids, the eyelashes. Do not draw the nose or the mouth.
  • To make sure even small details are clear, draw BIG.
  • Draw everything you see, dont imagine extra things. While drawing keep looking at the thing you are observing.
  • Make horizontal lines from the different parts and write down what it is.
  • Note what the magnification is and give your drawing a title.

 

Make sure to name all the parts you know.

 

When you are finished, show your drawing to a classmate. Look at their drawing. Who was able to name the most parts? Are there any other major differences? Discuss.

At the end of the section about eyes, take another look at your drawing and see if you can name more parts.
