I have students bring in a candy bar/food item of choice as a homework assignment.
This project is the final project in the drawing unit, so it builds upon everything that they have learned about value up to this point.
Students must draw their food items three different ways, using different drawing media. One drawing must be black and white, one must be true color, and the last can be however they want it to be, as long as they are still observing the object.
See attached rubrics in note packet.
