2. Using a Border
Have your border will become part of your art work

3. Living Subject
What environment can your living subject be surrounded with?
You could use a natural setting to surround your living subject as both the border and the pattern behind it.

4. Pattern
Pattern is the repetition of elements like a checker board , stripes or shapes in the background.

5. Putting it all together
First, find a living subject that you can draw in oil pastel .

6. Symetrical Design
You can use the living subject as a design that interlocks with the border and patterned background like a tessellation .

7. Colors
Decide on whether you are using black paper or a colored paper.

8. Drawing
Find a resource of a living object that you can use as a reference. You will turn in your resource picture in with your rough draft drawing.
Do not trace - try to draw the subject .
