Objective: Create a colored pencil drawing on 12” x 18” white paper of 3, 4 or 5 candies in their wrappers.
- Experiment with multiple composition sketches, pick the most successful sketch.
- Glue candies to card stock grid in the chosen arrangement. Be sure to glue the candies on or near the intersection of the lines. Create a triangle arrangement with warm colors. It is ok to go off the edge of your paper with your design.
- Sketch contours (outlines) of the shapes on paper using a light colored or 2B pencil.
- Draw a gradient background using two or three analogous (colors next to each other on the color wheel) colors in a transparent, very light-colored pencil application.
- Draw candies with a transparent application of "local color," or the actual colors of the candies (The previous layer of highlight and shadow would show through)
- Demonstrate multiple methods of shading in varying levels of colored pencil value.
