What will we be doing in class first? . . .
7th Grade Drawing
Incorporating the Principle of Design, students come up with one triangle design (1/8 of a square) which will
later be traced 8 times to create a radially-symmetrical drawing. After viewing technique demonstrations on layering and
burnishing with colored pencils, students will finish their composition with Prismacolor colored pencils.
