This project is a fun one that starts to break the students out of their comfort zone a bit. Up until this point, they have used the grid system to map out their compositions. With this project, they no longer can use the grid and have to practice using their sense of making comparisons of shapes within the composition to put down the image. They also have to change their way of thinking as well as they now have to focus on bringing out the highlights, where up until now they have been building up the shadows. They are given a black piece of paper of which they have to scratch out the highlights. It sounds easier than it really is, but they are really coming out with great stuff!
