edge of the paper and return.3. Try to create design that has both
large and small shapes.4. Using the ruler, divide your paper into
eight equal rectangles.5. Number the boxed areas lightly in pencil
in any order you want.6. Using primary hues of crayons, color the
shapes in area 1.7. Using light and dark values of colored pencils,
color in the shapes in area 2. Using bright and dull intensities
of
colored pencils, color in the shapes in area 3.8. Using the
pencil, go over the lines in area 4, make some of the lines
straight and others curved. Try pressing
down on the pencil for some of the lines. This will give a
thicker, darker result.

on the sheet of drawing paper. Arrange for some of theletters to
overlap and some to go off the page. Fill the entire sheet of
paper.
3. Using a ruler, divide your paper into eight equal parts.
Number the 8-boxed areas lightly in pencil in any orderyou
like.
4. Using the pencil and eraser, draw in or erase lines to
rearrange the shapes in area 1, so they have formalbalance. Fill in
some of the shapes with pencil.
5. Using a variety of hues of tempera, paint the shapes in area
2.
6. Using no more than three hues, paint the shapes in area 3.
Repeat one of these colors over and over to createharmony.
7. Identify the most interesting shape in area 4. Using the

shapes. Paint the other shapes, adding white to lightenthe value of
the hue. In this way the shapes will appear to create rhythm.
