VOLUMEThe space occupied by a three-dimensional body that has height, width,
depth.
KEY VOCABULARY
Space. The expanse in which everything is located.
Volume. The space occupied by a three-dimensional body that has height, width, depth.
Height. The distance an object has from the floor or supporting plane to its top.
Width. The front horizontal dimension of an object.
Depth. The inward extension of an object.
Overlap. To partly cover, to place on top of another.
KEY VOCABULARY
Intersect. To divide by crossing or passing through something.
Size. The set of measurements a person, animal or object has.
Contact. The effect of two or more people, animals or objects that touch each other.

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIFFERENT PLANES
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DIFFERENT PLANES
Main topics• Identifying visual relationships between objects: closer or
further away, in front of or behind, on top of or underneath.
• The concepts of size, contact, separation, transparency,overlapping and intersecting.
Key vocabulary• Flat shape. The configuration of a flat figure.
• Size. The set of measurements a person, animal or object has.
• Contact. The effect of two or more people, animals or objectsthat touch each other.
• Separation. The space or distance between two or morepeople, animals or objects.
• Transparency. The quality of being transparent or see-through.
(See Teacher’s Book, Introduction, page 5, Key vocabulary.)
Presentation1. Explain to the students that they must first learn to recognise
the relationship between flat shapes in order to create shapeswith volume on two-dimensional supports. Draw two squareson the board: a large one towards the bottom and a smallerone towards the upper right.
T: Flat shapes, like these two squares, only have the dimensions ofheight and width. The only information these two shapes give us isthat one is bigger than the other.
Make the squares into cubes and draw a horizon line thatpasses behind the top (smaller) cube. T: Now the squares arecubes. This third dimension (depth) gives us more informationabout the squares. The horizon line gives us a point of reference,letting us know that the smaller cube looks smaller only because itis further away.
2. Continue by showing examples of images or photographs youhave brought to class that demonstrate the concepts onStudent’s Book, page 84: size changes, contact, separation,transparency, overlapping and intersecting.
Image library• Changes in size: The students
observe how, by varying anobject’s size, one can createthe illusion of moving furtherbackwards or forwards.
• Transparency: Point outthat an object placed behinda transparent object can beseen through it and appearsto be slightly further away.

The horizon line gives us a point of reference,letting us know that the smaller cube looks smaller only because itis further away.
2. Continue by showing examples of images or photographs youhave brought to class that demonstrate the concepts onStudent’s Book, page 84: size changes, contact, separation,transparency, overlapping and intersecting.
Image library• Changes in size: The students
observe how, by varying anobject’s size, one can createthe illusion of moving furtherbackwards or forwards.
• Transparency: Point outthat an object placed behinda transparent object can beseen through it and appearsto be slightly further away.

Image library• Overlapping: Place different
objects behind each other inorder to demonstrate theillusion of depth they cancreate.
• Contrasting tones: Offersome examples of contrastfor students to study: thecontrast behind illuminatedand darker areas that seemfurther away or the gradualchange of tones.
Main topics• How to tell if an object is closer to or further away from, in front
of or behind, on top of or underneath another object.
• The concepts of shapes that pass through another, mixingtechniques and contrasting tones.
Key vocabulary• Pass through. To go inside or through something else.
• Mixing techniques. Using more than one artistic skill, such asintersecting objects, transparencies and tone contrasts.
• Tone contrast. This is when light illuminates an object, givingit light and shaded areas.
(See Teacher’s Book, Introduction, page 5, Key vocabulary.)
Presentation1. Turn off the lights in the classroom and shine a desk lamp onto
a copy of Arts and Crafts. T: Look at the light and shaded areas thelamp makes. This is how light affects an object that has volume.Students open their books at page 85. T: Look at how we transferthese light and shaded areas to a flat object.
2. Refer the students to section G of the same page. T: A shapeseems to have volume when another shape goes through it.
3. Finally, explain that we can use more than one of these volume-creating techniques at the same time. Write the following list ofitems on the board: drinking glass, lemon, bottle, place mat,coffee cup, saucer, spoon, table. T: Get into groups of fourstudents. Look at picture H on page 85 and write down thetechniques used to portray each object.

TECHNIQUES TO CREATE DEPTH
Objectives • To revise the concepts of space, volume and depth.
• To apply correctly the methods of intersection, transparencyand objects passing through each other.
• To use the unit concepts to create compositions with geometricfigures.
Materials needed• Coloured card
• Graphite pencil (HB) and rubber eraser
• Compass and ruler
• 45º and 60º triangular set squares
• Scissors, stick of glue
Presentation• This task has a low level of difficulty. •• As with the previous activity, this is intended to be a
reinforcement activity to practise the unit concepts related tospace, volume and the relation between flat shapes. Thestudents should follow the instructions as they appear, withoutapplying additional volume techniques.
