DAY 1
1. Take pictures of yourself in a pose. It can be standing or in midair.

2. After picking out your favorite one print out a copy.

DAY 2
3. Using the lightbox trace the outline of your body onto the watercolor paper in pencil.

4. Using the ink pen go over your pencil lines with it. Then repeat this process getting wider and wider until you fill the page. This will be your echo effect. (Don't forget to erase your pencil marks after the ink dries.)

DAY 3
5. Now paint the paper using watercolors leaving the center of your body completely white.

This project can be incorporated with health class by having the poses taken during exercises.
