Day 1: The Profile • After Ms. Farley traces your profile onto a sheet of paper, cut it out. • Place it in the center of the paper with the face side out and trace with a pencil. • Flip the cut out and trace it again. • Use a ruler to draw a line that skips over the vase to draw the table.
Day 2: Lines and Outline • Use a variety of lines (straight, zigzag, curly, wavy, dotted) to decorate vase. • Use a black Sharpie to outline the lines.
Day 3: Color in the vase • Use crayons to color in the vase. • Press hard. • Do not leave any white spaces.
Day 4: • Use the oil pastels to draw sunflowers. (Try to do some from the side and some head on). • Draw a center that is a different color than the petals. • Add stems.
Day 5: Paint a tint. • Using watercolors, paint in a background. • Observe that the more water you use, the lighter the color becomes. This is a tint. When you mix a color with white, it becomes a tint.
