Steps
Make your contour and cross-hatching and erasing drawings on blank paper with pen, marker, pencil, and eraser
Fill the page, and don't worry about messing up. It's practice, not being perfect.
Get all the details you can! See deeply. Capture light and dark values when shading.
Take a photograph of each drawing, get up close, so the drawing fills the frame
Make a web page called Drawings on your Google Site
Add the 3 original photographs and the 3 photographs of the drawings you made.
Write about what you learned doing this assignment, mention skills and techniques.
When done, push the Publish button, review the settings, and publish.
Then click the chain-link button, Copy the link for your page, and paste it into Google Classroom to "turn in."
