Forms and entry fees due by 4PM
​Location: Brazoria County Fairgrounds

Your job is to pick a photo of mine or take one of your own. It does not have to be western themed, however, most auction pieces are Texas-western themed. 

You will follow along with me, learning color pencil textures and techniques.
Once you understand how to layer and blend, you will grid out your picture and paper. 
I will show you how to do this.
​The video below shows gridding of same size photo to same size paper. We will be gridding from a smaller picture to a bigger picture. This video gives you an idea of what to do. 

Essential question: What do you remember about gridding? What animal will you choose and what element and principles of design will you incorporate in your composition to allow for a more skillful piece.  
 How will we know if they’ve learned it? 
Students will have a finished piece of art that can be considered for various competitions 
What will we do if they don’t learn it?
Students will be re-taught and can utilized videos to re-work missing elements of their assignment. 
 What will we do if they have / have already learned?
Students can always go above and beyond the instructions to create a more challenging experience. 
My students understand and can… by the end of the lesson
Portrait anatomy along with animal studies. Students will have a better grasp on value and pencil work, highlights and shadows. 
Teks: 117.C (​(2) Creative expression. The student communicates ideas through original artwork using a variety of media with appropriate skills.
