(print this page to teach from) Procedure (print this page to teach from) Step 1: Use large block letters to write your name, beginning with the first letter touching both the bottom and left side of your paper. Step 2: Draw your next stick letter so that it touches both the first letter and the top edge of your paper. Step 3: Draw the next letter in the same way, this time touching the 2nd letter and the bottom edge of your paper. Step 4: Repeat this process, alternating with touching the top and bottom edges, finishing with your last letter also touching the right side of your paper. Step 5: Finish off by connecting any letter to something else - another letter, the side of the paper.... This will help create more NEGATIVE SPACES Step 6: Now draw an outline around each stick letter and fill it in with black marker, so the letters are nice and thick Step 7: use your fine point marker to fill in the negative spaces inside and around your letters with line patterns

vocabulary horizon line - the viewer's eye level (where the ground and the sky seem to meet). You can see the top of an object if it is below eye level, below the Horizon Line. If an object is above eye level, above the Horizon Line, you can not see its top. vanishing point - is always on the Horizon Line. As things get closer to the Vanishing Point they get smaller and smaller until they appear to vanish. orthogonal lines - lines that meet at the vanishing point horizontal lines - lines that go from left to right vertical lines - lines that go from the top to bottom of the page parallel lines - Two or more straight lines or edges on the same plane that do not intersect. Parallel lines have the same direction.
