17. 1.Using construction paper, draw at least 5 objects in there entirety, one at a time, in pencil and then use oil pastels to color them accurately. Choose construction paper that most closely matches the color of the object you are drawing. Ex: for a red apple, use red construction paper. 2.Model each object to create a 3D illusion. Include all details and values shown in the original objects. 3.Cut out the 5 objects. 4.Design and create a background for your composition using construction paper. 5.Arrange the 5 objects on the background you’ve created. You must have objects overlapping each other. Remember, it needs to look real…don’t have any objects floating in space, etc. 6.Once you have created a good composition, glue all the objects in place. Let the glue dry before the next step!!! 7.Render cast shadows for each object and the background. Don’t forget cast shadows must relate to the same light source! 8. Mod Podge it
