It Looked Good Enough to Eat ...

... so we did!

For today's Saturday's Scholars program at Shenendahowa, we worked on illustration techniques using a still life of fruit.

We divided a large sheet of paper into four quadrants. In one quadrant, we illustrated using only pencil. In another, we used only colored pencils. In the third, we used markers. And in the fourth, we used cut-paper collage.

We also learned how to control what we see by making a window with our hands to limit the view, from the entire plate of fruit to just the seeds on the watermelon!

When we finished our artwork, we do what all artists do best. We ate it! Yums!
