Value Drawings in Crayon

Students were to compose a still life with simple shapes and shade the objects to make them look three dimensional. This is tricky for Grade 5 students as the objects must be placed on the table correctly so it does not look like some are floating. To make the composition interesting, the students were to use a variety of shapes and sizes and be sure the tops and bottoms of objects do not line up. They were also expected to overlap a number of objects.
