Enlarging coloring sheet
This project is both a practice before your final value drawing, and a project in it’s own right. We will use your enlarged grid for a tempera batik painting (which I will explain when I return), or possibly a watercolor resist.
Choose coloring sheet--we will need to reuse/possibly share these, treat them gently
Use 3 x 3 clear viewfinder to select interesting, balanced composition. Any negative space should enhance composition.
Trace around your 3 x 3 composition and double check measurements (be sure it’s 3" x 3", make adjustments if necessary).
Then, carefully cut your square out of the sheet. We will need to reuse these sheets, so return unused portion to teacher.
Draw a grid on your 3 x 3 (one inch squares should be fine. You may do ½ inch if you want to)
Get a 9 x 9 sheet from the teacher
Draw a grid on the 9 x 9 (if you used one inch on the small paper, you’ll do 3 inch squares on the large paper, ½ inch?, you’ll do 1 ½ inch) DRAW VERY LIGHTLY OR use a 4H pencil to make the grid.
Using the grid method, transfer the drawing from 3 x 3 to 9 x 9
If time, erase grid on 9 x 9
