Key Concepts

 Season is a period of the year that is distinguised by special climate. The


seasons- winter, spring, summer,and autumn or fall- are characterized
by differences in average temperature and the amount of time that the
Sun is in the sky each day.

Winter
- is the coldest time of the
year. Hours of nighttime are
longer than hours of daytime.

Autumn or Fall
- this is the season when leaves
wither and fall to the ground and the
weather becomes colder. Animals
start to store food. Others migrate to
warmer places to escape the cold.

 Countries in the temperate zone experience four seasons in a year. The


occurence of the four seasons is caused by the tilting of the Earth on
its axis and the Earth’s revolution around the Sun.

 Summer begins in the northern hemisphere on June 21 or 22. During


this time, the North pole is tilted to its full 23½ degrees towards the
Sun. At this time the vertical rays of the sun strike the 23½ degress
north latitude (23½ degrees north of the equator), a line of latitude
known as the Tropic of Cancer. The Northern hemisphere experiences
its longest daylight period. People in the Northern Hemisphere usually
label June 21 or 22 as summer solstice. At the same time, the
southern hemisphere experiences
its shortest daylight.

 Winter starts on December 21 or


22. At this time, the North Pole
has tilted to its full 23½ degrees
away from the Sun, with the
sun’s vertical rays striking at
23½ degrees south latitude. This
line is known as the Tropic of

Capricorn. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, December 21 or 22
is the winter solstice. The shortest daylight period occurs in the
northern hemisphere while the longest daylight period occurs in the
southern hemisphere.
 Twice a year, the daytime and nighttime are of equal length. On these
days, the axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the Sun. On about
March 20, Earth’s tilt is sideways to the sun and hours of daylight and
darkness are the same in both hemispheres. This causes spring
equinox in Northeren Hemisphere and fall equinox in Southeren
hemisphere. On about September 22, the Earth’s tilt is sideways to the
sun, and hours of daylight and darkness are the same in both
hemispheres. This causes fall equinox in Northern Hemisphere and
Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. Incidentally, the point at
which the Earth is closest to the sun is known as perihelion and the
point where the Earth is farthest from the sun is known as aphelion.
Seasons in the Philippines
 The Philippines has two pronounced seasons- wet and dry. These two
seasons are greatly influenced by the location of the Philippines. Our
country is in the Northern Hemisphere near the equator. It is in the
tropics. The vertical rays of the Sun sweep over the country twice a year
so the lengths of the day and night in the country do not vary so much.

 During the wet (rainy) season , the country experiences most of the
storms. Planting of rice is usually done during this time. This season
starts at June and peaks in July to September.

 During the dry season, there is very little rainfall. The Sun always
shines and brings much heat. During January and February, the air is
cold and dry. The peak of the dry season is in April with less or no rain
shower throughout the month.

There are factors that influence seasons in the Philippines.

1. Latitude
The location of a country or any particular place on the globe
affects its climate. The amount of heat energy that region
receives depend on its location. The equatorial region or the
region that lies near or at the equator, receives direct heat
from the Sun. Places on or near the North Pole and South
Pole receive slanting rays of heat from the sun.

2. Altitude
It is the height above sea level. Near the earth’s
surface, the higher a place is, the lower is its temperature.
This is because as a place rises above sea level, air
temperature decreases by a few degrees.

3. Wind Systems
The prevailing winds that the Philippines experiences
are affected by our proximity to large bodies of land and
water. This results in the wind system that is referred to as
monsoons. A monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind pattern.
"Monsoon" is from the Arabic word, "mawsim" which means
season. The occurrence of monsoon can be explained by the
difference in the heating and cooling rates of land and
water.
There are two kinds of wind systems and seasons that
occur in the country every year, Hanging Amihan and
Hanging Habagat. Hanging Amihan is known as the
Northeast monsoon while Hanging Habagat is known as
the Southwest monsoon.
Southwest monsoon brings more rain in the western
part of the country. Winds of the southwest monsoon
absorb moisture as it passes the warm ocean waters. This
greatly increases the chances of rainfall when they reach
the Philippines. Northeast monsoon brings more rain in the
eastern part of the country.

4. Amount of Rainfall
It is also a factor that affects the climate of a
particular place. When it seldom rains in an area, that place
has a pronounced dry season. When it always rains, the
place is wet most of the year.

5. Bodies of Water
Bodies of water like oceans and lakes affect climate of
nearby land masses. When these bodies of water are heated,
the evaporating water makes the air in nearby land masses
humid. Bodies of water heat up and cool down more slowly
than masses of land. This unequal heating of land and
bodies of water create wind systems that influence the
climate of places found within the same latitude.

Enhancing Bamboo, Wood,
Lesson Metal and Other Finished

1 Products through
Sketching, Outlining and
Shading
We know that making an artwork includes talent and skills. Some people are
born artistic and creative skills and that is the reason why they became popular in
the different fields of art.

There are also many livelihoods where sketching, shading and outlining are
being used. Among are furniture -making, tailoring, dress making, and creating
construction projects and many others.

Learning the basic skills can help us improve our creativity and artistic
inclination. Let us learn to be more imaginative, creative, and have more patience to
practice. Practice is the basic in all that we do.

What’s In

Directions: Choose the appropriate word from the parenthesis. Write your
answer on a separate sheet of paper.

1. (Shellac, Paint, Filler) is a finishing material that fill up cracks and


grooves.

2. (Saleable, Enhancement, Production) is a process of developing the


product that will make it attractive to buyers.

Notes to the Teacher
Please help the learner to better understand the terms being
introduced. Lesson is easy to understand when they can comprehend
these words.

The words below are defined according to their function in this module. Take
time to familiarize them, it will help you on your journey in this module.

New Words to Learn

1. Draft – is a preliminary version of a piece of writing or drawing.


2. Three dimensional – appearing to have a length, width, and height.
3. Subject – any object that serve as a model in creating a piece.
4. Shadow effect – a dark image cast on a surface by the interception of light rays
by an opaque body.

What’s New

Elmer, Nicole, and Franz are Grade 6 pupils of La Carlota Elementary


School. They were the participants of their Division for the Regional “Technolympics”.

Before the day of their respective events, the three decided to have a walk
around the place and to familiarize themselves with their respective event area.

As they go to the venue, they were happy sharing their experiences. They
stop by bazaar set up by other divisions. They were amazed how other divisions put
up their booths with their learners’ outputs and their products.

Their attention was caught by several students who flock in one side of the
venue. They saw students from that booth, making drawing of different photo laid in
front of them. Some are about to start, some are in the middle of their sketching, and
others are about to finish.

Elmer asked one of the students, “Is it difficult to draw a photo?”

“No, because this my hobby, I love drawing all the time”, the student replied.

5 CO_TLE-IA6_Module5
The three learners concluded that making illustrations would be easy, if we
love and enjoy our work, constant practice and learning the techniques in sketching,
outlining and shading.

What is It

Products made from bamboo, wood, and metal are bare looking if there no
enhancement or artwork added to it. This is the reason why many small cottage
industry and handicraft makers in the country continue to create different products
out of bamboo, wood and metal. They tried innovating and even adding accessories
or to make it more saleable both locally and even in international markets.

In this lesson you will learn how sketching, outlining and shading can add
beauty, thus increases the marketability of bamboo, wood and metal products.

What is Sketching, Outlining and Shading?

Sketching: is a practice of using a rough outline or it is draft version of an object.


Sketching is a preparation or an idea of how something will look like.

Outlining: is the process of making an image on the outer parts of any shape or
object using lines. To draw the outer edge of an illustration, diagram
to emphasize the shape or image of the drawing. This step is also
known as “inking of drawing”. It is done when you go over the lines
used to produce a rough sketch with thick and dark ink to make it
more distinct.

Shading: is the darkening or coloring of an illustration, diagram, or outline.


Tracing and defining the outer edge or shape of the drawing, it is a
technique that makes line drawing pop off and stimulate a three-
dimensional look. It adds depth and contrast to your piece.

6 CO_TLE-IA6_Module5
Steps in enhancing bamboo, wood, metal and other finished products through
Sketching, Outlining and Shading
Step 1: Prepare all materials and tools needed for your project. Prepare the tools
and materials such as pencil, eraser, assorted colored paint as touching materials,
pencil brush or artist brush, accessories, and finishing materials for topcoat.

Pencils – there are two types of pencils used in drawing,

• H pencil usually used for sketching, it is numbered with 2H, 4H, 6H


and 8H with 2H as the softest and 8H as the hardest.
• B pencil is used for shading, it is numbered 2B, 4B, 6B, and 8B.

Ready finished products made from bamboo, wood, or metal and the image or
subject you want to put in your products.

Step 2: Make a sketch of your subject on the surface of the product.

a. Hold your pencil nearly at the middle.

b. Choose a specific subject to draw.

Look for an image that you like; it maybe an object or person. Take time to study the
object before beginning to sketch. Use combination of primary or basic shapes like
square, circle or rectangles.

All the Illustrations were made by Jofel D.


Nolasco 7 CO_TLE-IA6_Module5
c. Start to sketch lightly.

Start sketching with a very light hand using short and quick strokes. This will
allow you to test yourself of the different ways of drawing an object and will allow
you to erase mistakes easier.

d. Keep sketching or do gesture drawing.

It is continuous sketching until you achieve the forms, actions shape and poses,
connecting lines that show movement of your subject.

Jofel D. Nolasco,Sketching on wood, 2019

Step 3: Outline your sketched image or subject.

a. Ready with your touching materials for outlining.


b. Use fine tip pencil brush. Make an outline of your subject using light
colored paint.
c. Grip your pencil brush near the tip with your hand steady. Let your
arm guide you over the lines not by the movement of your wrist.
d. Make thick and bold lines for more detailed parts (outer lines) and
thin lines for less detailed parts (inner lines).
e. Use outline color that is the same with the final color of that
particular part.
f. Outline the subject or image color by color.

Note:
• To decrease the color tone of the paint, mixed it with white of
the same type until you reach the desired tone.
• To increase color tone or darkened the paint, add a very little
amount of black.

8 CO_TLE-IA6_Module5
Step 4: Shade the outlined image or subject.

On this part, you will add texture to your work piece by shading. Shading may use
three different techniques: hatching, cross-hatching, stippling.

a. Hatching is a series of parallel lines that create shadows in drawing.

b. Cross-hatching is the use of two sets of lines. Second line is crossing over
the first line to create a darker effect of shadow.

c. Stippling involves by making shapes and images by using small dots.

All the Illustrations on this page were


made by Jofel D. Nolasco
9 CO_TLE-IA6_Module5
1. Determine the direction of light source. This is a very important factor in
creating a shadow effect and making your art piece more realistic.
2. Use color tones start with plain then add dark color starting from the
direction against the light.
3. Make use of tone and contrast. As a rule, object away from light source
need to be shaded.
4. Start with light shading to serve as a base. Make it darker going to the
direction of a part that is away from light.
5. To make your artwork become real or three-dimensional, add a drop
shadow. A drop shadow will determine the location of your object.
6. Observe the direction of the light, this will be also the direction of the
shadow casted by your object.

Jofel D. Nolasco, Painting the image on the wood, 2019

Step 5: Paint the inner part of the subject or image

a. Check if the outlines are dried, start painting the inner part of each
outline.
b. Apply on each part a specific light-colored paint. This will serve a
base.
c. The tone of each color should be a bit darker in your outline.

Note:
It will be easy to identify the color tone that you want to use if you will
have at least four separate containers that contains one-color with
different color tone. Example: dark green, green, light green, and
much lighter green.
