单色宠物肖像教学，既涵盖绘画基础技能训练，又赋予学生对创作主题的自主权。宠物这一题材始终能为学生带来愉悦感，并帮助他们专注于写实表现，以及明度与色彩的融合。
我们首先用一组原色进行明度与浅色调的调和练习。我习惯先从灰度开始，让学生直观体会：以黑色颜料为起点，与以白色颜料为起点，其体验截然不同。我借助实物展台进行示范教学，全班同步推进。随着每种颜色练习的深入，我的指导逐渐减少，最终学生将完全独立完成最后几种颜色的调和。

许多学生面临的最大挑战是保持画笔与调色板清洁。一旦黑色混入浅色调，或反之，都会使颜色变灰。学生也常难以找到一张背景不杂乱、且明度关系清晰的照片。我们会稍作调整——在 Google Docs 中略微增强对比度，再按比例打印成黑白稿。
今年，学生们尝试用镉红、铬黄与群青自主调配中性黑色。当他们无法依赖管装现成黑色时，其自信心与绘画能力竟显著提升！

这份引导式教程完整呈现了全部教学步骤，非常适合复习、缺课学生补学，以及向学生明确最终成果目标。
若学生没有宠物，或未能提供照片，我强烈推荐网站 unsplash.com. 该站提供大量高清免费图片资源。
完成明度调和练习后，我们进入水彩纸上的小幅实践绘画环节。这有助于学生在正式评估前，预先锻炼对色彩与明度的感知能力。我会从 unsplash.com 上精选若干选项供学生挑选，并安排数个课时，让他们将明度练习成果付诸实践。
这份引导式教程将带领学生了解我的构思过程与绘画技法。
我允许学生临摹自己的宠物照片。对许多学生而言，这是他们首次专注明度关系、完成写实绘画。我在本科阶段的绘画教授也允许我们临摹，这极大拓展了我的艺术视野。他强调：初阶课程重在传授绘画技能，而素描虽重要，却是另一项独立技能。随着绘画能力提升，我们才逐步减少临摹。这种教学策略让我得以宽容自己、如今也宽容学生——一次专注掌握一项技法。
我也提供手绘草图选项，替代临摹。本课面向能力差异极大的美术II班开展，我已深知：为学生搭建多元支持路径，才能让所有学生获得更成功的体验。待学生使用转印纸将图像转印至画布后，即可开始绘制明度层次。
我们聚焦于一种主色的明度与浅色调，但鼓励学生根据兴趣探索其他色彩。部分学生坚持纯单色方案；另一些则在背景中加入点缀色，甚至多种色彩。看到他们随每种色彩运用而日益增强的自信与调和技巧，令人欣喜。

另一项进阶选择是绘制人物肖像。这难度更高，但我的AP课程学生常渴望挑战升级。我们在本单元初期已练习过肤色调配，这项训练深受学生欢迎——随着艺术能力提升，他们愈发体会到其价值。

Monochromatic pet portraits teach the basics of painting while giving students ownership of their subject matter. Pets are a subject matter that consistently bring happiness to students and allow them to focus on realism and blending value and color.
We started by practicing blending shades and tints using a set of primary base colors. I like to start with grayscale so they can see how starting with black paint is a very different experience than starting with white. I teach this under the document camera and we move on at the same pace. As we progress with each color, I am less direct and eventually they will mix their last couple colors totally independently.

The biggest challenge for many students is keeping their brushes and pallets clean. Anytime black sneaks into a tint, and vice versa, it grays out their colors. Students often struggle with finding a photograph that does not have a distracting background and exemplifies value. We play with the contrast a little in Google Docs and I print them to scale in black and white.
This year students made their own neutral black using fire red, chrome yellow and ultramarine blue. It was amazing to see their confidence and painting skills flourish when they couldn’t rely on straight out of the tube black!

This guided tutorial shows all of the steps we take, and it’s perfect for review, absent students and showing students their end goals.
If your students don’t have pets or don’t bring in a photograph, I highly recommend the website unsplash.com. They have so many high quality images that are free use.
After we practice mixing values, we move on to mini practice paintings on watercolor paper. This allows students to practice seeing color and value before their summative assessment. I pick a few options for them from unslpash.com to pick from and we spend a few class periods putting their value practice to work.
This guided tutorial will walk students through my thought process and technique.
I allow my students to trace their pet photographs. For many students, this is the first time they have created a realistic painting with attention to value. My painting professor in undergrad allowed us to trace, and it really expanded my viewpoint. He emphasized that he was teaching us the skills of painting in a beginner class and that drawing was a separate, although important, skill. As our painting skills progressed we phased out of tracing. This teaching strategy really allowed me to give myself, and now my students, grace to embrace one technique at a time.
I also give the option for students to sketch their images instead of trace. I do this lesson in a VERY mixed abilities Art II class and I have learned that scaffolding options for students creates a more successful experience for all. After their image is transferred on their canvas using graphite paper, they begin painting their values.
We focus on shades and tints of one main color, but students are encouraged to explore other colors if they want. Some students stuck with a pure monochromatic color scheme, and others added accents colors or a variety of colors in their backgrounds. It was so fun to see their confidence and blending skills expand with each color.

Another advanced option is to do a human portrait. This is a much more challenging experience, but my AP track students often want to level up. We have practiced creating skin tones at the beginning of the unit and that is a lesson students really appreciate as their artistic skills progress.
