Formative Work:
1. View and discuss examples of Pointillism and how optical mixing works
2. Students must complete the Stippling Worksheet and notes before beginning the Summative Assessment

Summative Work:
1. Students choose a suitable image to use as a reference. In past years it has been animal, flowers, landscapes, or any of the above.
2. Students use a ballpoint pen or permanent marker to create a 1x1" grid on the source image
3. Using a pencil, the same size grid is drawn on 60lb paper that has been cut to the same size as the source image
- Students can also enlarge the image if they wish, ie going from a 1x1" to a 2x2" grid
4. One box at a time, students use the colors available in the Crayola Class Pack to match the colors and patterns in the photograph
5. The pencil grid is carefully erased upon completion
