(Ex 1) Label their grid with 1-4 on top with pencil and lightly Label A B C down. (Ex 1) Use Pencil -Starting with Square A-1, transfer lines to the blank grid. It’s important that they look at where the lines fall on the grid. Don’t look at the entire shape, just the lines in block you are working on. Continue moving from block to block till all lines are transferred. (Ex 2) Go over lines with a black sharpie. *make sure they do not sharpie the grid lines! Erase all pencil lines.

Finish and Display: Demonstrate how to shade with oil pastels. First determine where the light is falling on the fruit. Outline the fruit and color in the shaded area heavier. Use your finger to smudge the rest of color and fill in the rest of the fruit, leaving white showing where the light would hit the fruit. Have students start with the fruit first and then go to the vase and plate. The table and curtain should be the last objects to color Use a black oil pastel for shadow under fruit and plate.
