Part D: Begin Final Project
Step 9: Final Paper: Begin your cross-hatching on your final. Use a pen if you have one at home! Be sure you are following your practice and can see a different in the three different values.
Part E: Analyze

Part E: Analyze
Step 10: Partners: Ask a partner to view your values.
- Do the values look different?
- Value 1- Is it light enough? Is it different than value 2?
- Value 2- Are you crossing 1 time? Does it look like the medium value between 1 and 2?
- Value 3- Have you crossed your lines enough times that it is the darkest value? Is it lighter than the tree?
- Do your values look even? Does it have open spots?
- There should be 5 present values: Moon or sun (blank), Value 1 (dashes), value 2 (cross 1 time), value 3 (cross multipule times), Tree (completely black)
Step 11: Animals: Practice paper - Draw an animal outline in pencil. Then show Mrs. C.
- Create an animal for extra creativity. (What type of season or time of day is your tree in? Did you capture a specific feeling or mood? What type of animal might fit your project best?)
